““I lay the blame in two places,” U.S. Army veteran and Baltimore resident Evie Harris said on “Fox & Friends First” Friday. “I would start with the board of schools commissioners or the Board of School Administrators. And I’m going to also add in some parents…”
It absolutely starts with the parents IMO........or in many cases only ONE parent.
And that’s a big part of the problem......you’ll never convince me that one parent raising a kid is anywhere near as effective as being raised by a mother AND a father......and it’s gotta be a stable environment as well.
I won’t argue that. In the end, it falls to individual’s decisions.
My experience, living in the Philly and Wilmington areas, is that the majority will never change or learn. I’ll continue my plan of “moving away from them” due to experience.
I used to care, I don’t anymore.
My daughters knew the alphabet by the time they started 1st grade. Why?
My wife was a stay-at-home mom until they started school, and she would work with them. She would read to them during the day, and I would at night.
We did math, too, so they had a head start by the time each of them began 1st grade.
It doesn’t matter what color or ethnicity we are, our brains are the SAME, and one brain needs the food of knowledge as well as the next, regardless of what the outer package looks like.
All the teachers unions care about is lining their own pockets. When they go on strike, they do it for more money, but at the same time, they proclaim that it’s
“FOR THE CHILDREN”.
Nothing ever changes.
