[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People call a school district "good" when it has good test scores and all the kids speak English. But in these kinds of districts the parents tend to provide all the acceleration, enrichment, and other supplements that make kids score well on exams. The teachers range from sh** to great but none of them have as much influence over academic achievement as the parents do. I would even go so far as to say that teachers in "good" districts get lazy and complacent because they know the kids get academic instruction outside of school.[/quote] Everyone in my district works and most of them full-time and in office. Where is everyone getting the time and energy and sanity to basically homeschool the entire K-6 curriculum at home when you have 2-3 kids in different grades? [/quote]
