You forgot to blame bad parents that don’t value education as one of the reasons why NCLB will not work.
Good teachers will never overcome bad parents.
“You forgot to blame bad parents that don’t value education as one of the reasons why NCLB will not work.”
Of course, you’re right, but sometimes I think that parents just don’t know what to do. When they demand a passing grade or the opportunity to make up late-late-LATE work, they can’t see beyond the grading period into a more important topic - character. What’s best for the kid is not always what is obvious, and that’s a difficult call.
Perhaps the obligatory Parents’ Night should focus more on parents’ role in the education process.
