In defense of some of the teachers, they often get little parents support at these failing schools. I will be honest and plead quilty to not giving much time to the school last year. I am a widow with one child, it must be hard for other single parents with children in different schools.

That is very true, about the lack of parental involvement at some of these failing schools.

But, even as a single parent at home, if you take the time to check your own child's homework, listen to your child read, engage your child in conversation about content matter he or she is learning in school to help the child review, then, you will actually be doing much more than many parents have done in terms of being involved in their child's education.

Thanks for your very candid post here, non-alone.
