[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell parents outright that the only way for their kid to do well is to sit down every night with them and read and do homework. This means the parent will have to sacrifice and explains that is what parents with more income do. It works. Follow their example. Tell parents outright that learning to speak English as quickly as possible will benefit their child in the long run more than anything the school will do. Tell parents that speaking grammatically correct english is imperative if they would like their child to do well on tests bc tests are written in standard grammatical English and not recognizing it on a test means they do worse then other kids. The tests aren’t going to change. The kids who do well have parents who have figured this it. Follow their example. Provide identification. and remediation services earlier on for the most common identified learning disabilities. Develop and institute standard curriculum with standard materials for all classes within a school. Teachers can’t provide additional unless approved. Kindergarten - morning academic work - afternoon play and social skills work. Each class should have a dedicated therapist to work with students and yea even those who neurotypical need it to. Either make it easier to move a child with behavior issues to self contained classes or pay more individual aids. There should be a 3 strike policy and then either one has to be done. We lose way to many teachers and staff who have to deal with this but no real solutions. High school - any action that is a crime - even a misdemeanor - report to police and the child is tracked to alternative school and after a year of success there with no further incidents then can be considered to return. High school - if a student reaches senior year and can’t read or do math at grade level, then senior year is an intensive year of remediation with the goal of the student being able to read and do math by the end of the year. The student will be granted a basic diploma if they successfully complete the year. [/quote] I can hear all the screams “racism! Racism!” In my head already! [/quote]
