[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As they should. Many parents haven't gotten the message that schools are not doing their basic jobs.  [/quote]
It all starts with the parents. If they did their jobs, schools would be empowered to do theirs. Unfortunately too many these days expect the state to raise their children.[/quote]
Agreed. As an example, chronic absenteeism is a nightmare for schools.[/quote]
My DS had excellent attendance at his MCPS elementary.  But he was dyslexic, and he never learned to read until after we hired a tutor halfway through 3rd grade.  Two things can be true at once: parents need to do their jobs and schools need to do theirs.

For more info about what schools should be doing, watch this documentary, "The Right to Read".  Kareem Weaver, who features in the film, has worked in settings with black, brown, and impoverished students.  He's pushing for research-based school changes and he is not waiting for parents to "do their jobs."    https://www.therighttoreadfilm.org  [/quote]
