Yes.
“The educational system has gone away from what works and so has society. Students are not held accountable for lack of achieving as they once were in this country. Far too many parents are not holding themselves accountable for being responsible for their children’s education. Meaning, a teacher’s job is to teach, coach, and prepare a student academically for the next level. This is a far more daunting task when parents refuse to assume the role of “enforcer” ensuring that their children come ready and prepared to learn with no exceptions. At the secondary level, I witness far too many of my students arriving to class with nothing in their hands. Some come with nothing to write with, nothing to write on, and their faces are devoid of any shame or responsibility. Yet, I trudge on. Unfortunately, this attitude is frequently indicative of their performance.”
He hits the nail on the head with that one.
