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.

No point in sending my child to school then. I thought schools were supposed to teach reading.

I provide my children with all of those things all without leaving the home, I homeschool.

going by what you just listed, then any teacher that cannot provide a complete education for each and every student, then they failed the students.

He said Basic. If your kids enters 1st grade without any reading ability he is already behind.

Me neither. But if it's not their job to teach those basic reading skills I want my district to cease whining that they need more full-day kindergarden.

Couldn't agree more. Most kindergardens are taxpayer financed daycare.

I never checked their homework. I was available to help if needed. I was also the parent that if they left it at home, they had to deal with the consequences.
