The bottom line is we cannot make parents be parents. Those of us who care have GOT to step up to the plate and offer our talents and time if at all possible. There is no reason that we all couldn't do a little to help out in this situation. We cannot continue to put the blame on the educators. They cannot possibly do it all.Patty G.

What will you do? Fine a poor single mother for each D or F? Lock up a missing father who is engaged in his interest in drugs, alchohol, etc.? <br /><br />You work with what you have, and all we have is the classroom and the teachers, etc.Neil Petersennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667628329690911598.post-91731325704075289282011-07-25T07:23:28.747-05:002011-07-25T07:23:28.747-05:00Allow me to give teachers and parents a break for ...Allow me to give teachers and parents a break for a minute. "No Child Left Behind" is a failure and a fraud because _the children_ have no risk, no "skin" in this process. What makes the child (who may well have no concept being a child) want to succeed or excel?<br /><br />Repeal "No Child Left Behind"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667628329690911598.post-11316127657747206572011-07-24T19:09:46.433-05:002011-07-24T19:09:46.433-05:00When will the community at large stop holding teac...When will the community at large stop holding teachers and administrators of the schools reponsible for children that are failing, and instead hold parents responsible? Just take a drive down South Main Street and along Central Avenue at night, and see what these "wonderful" parents are out doing. If the parents can't be moved to do something about improving not only themselves, but their children's lives, why should the teachers be held accountable for the lack of parenting? The majority of Springfield School parents just don't give a crap, unless they can make money off of it or use it to their advantage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
