[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. Stop having new people run it at the school level each year. They have intern principals that don't know anything yet, and often the principal has never done it either, so it is up to the experienced teachers to try to explain what needs to happen. 
2. Develop a curriculum with a theme so that kids have something a little more meaningful to do than worksheets. Pay some teachers to develop this. Make sure these teachers have taught ESY before. 
3. Give the schools enough supplies, such as crayons, paper, glue, scissors, etc
4. Provide BOOKS that are not downloaded off the computer and stapled together by the teacher who doesn't have time for this. Allow the teachers to use the books at the host school. They might lose a few, but so what?
5. Allow the teachers and kids to use the computer labs and Smartboards and other technology at the host school. 
6. Allow the students to use the library. Again, some books might be lost, but not many, and so what?
7. Allow the teachers to teach the same level of students that they have in the regular year so they can hit the ground running. It is very hard for a sixth grade teacher to suddenly find out she is going to have first graders.
8. Allow the kids to have recess!
9. Develop some science and history activities that can be used for practicing math and reading. Provide needed supplies. 
10. Ask experienced teachers what is needed to make it better. 
11. Don't force every student into a research based program UNLESS they have an academic need in that area AND are being instructed at their level. 
12. For kids that need socialization, steer them to Therapeutic Rec or other programs. 
13. Have the regular year principals make an appearance at the host schools to ensure that needs are being met. [/quote]

So what exactly do you think is going to be accomplished by posting on some anonymous parenting forum? You might as well have written this in your diary.  Stop being a coward. [/quote]
