If you send your child to 1st grade without basic reading skills, you've failed your child.
If you send your child to school hungry, you've failed your child.
If you send your child to school without the basic tools, (pencils, copy book, erasers, etc.), you've failed your child.
If you send your child to school without having checked their homework, you've failed your child.
If you send your child to school dirty, you've failed your child.
If you send your child to school without a proper nights sleep, you've failed your child.
NO child should ever receive a report card until the 6th grade.....up to that point, the report card should be on the parents. And not based on test grades....it should be based on the things which I mentioned above.
Teachers are under extreme pressure and when they have to take time from other students in order to take care of your irresponsibility, they become less effective.
Sounds like my parents.
I know from first hand experience how a parent can fail a child. If you really loved them you'd be very involved in their lives.
None, why do you ask? If you know what kind of assignments your child has and he is struggling with something simple, you know he needs help in a cartain area , or all areas.
Why do I ask? Because it is obvious by your comments that you don't have children.
If you don't have children, your comments don't have much credibility on this thread. Thanks for playing.
I do have a nephew. One whos education I was quite involved in. He is currently 21 , begining his 4th yr of gollege and in the process of buying his first home.

first thing upon coming home, the child does homework right in front of parent as parent starts dinner....mean while the teachers never explain the homework

kids bedtime is about 8pm no later than 9pm depending on additional activities(no tv)
so the parent that do the right thing, yet their kids are not being properly taught..the blame can squarely be laid at the feet of the teachers...according to you
Teaching, and the style of teaching, is outdated - and should be retired. It is funny to "strike" for the "children" yet the Charter school's without the Unions performance is even better. . .

It is in the interest of the whole country to see to it that students have proper education. I'm not interested in living in a 3rd. world country. Are you?
Are you suggesting that childless people have no business caring about schools?
Who the hell do you think is picking up the tab for public education? Parents? It cost my district around $10,000 for a year of schooling, per student. Most property does not pull in enough tax revenue for one kid, much less 3 or 4 a family.
When the citizens of this nation stop caring about the future of the next generation, we are in deep trouble. They are our grandkids, nieces, nephews and friends.

Why?
I was a child, one of 6.
I know what my parents did, and I see the results.
5 successful kids.
I was also a teacher.
I chose not to breed.
So I have no credibility?
