[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of the above PLUS parent choices and level of involvement. Everyone blames schools, but the school is only half of the child's life (and half the problem). If the parent isn't advocating for their child, pushing for help and services, providing support at home, and seeking out therapies, the school can only do so much.[/quote]

Sorry, this isn't always the case. I gave the example of the autistic boy above. My sister was in a poor area due to her job. While she isn't poor, all around her were. The school was totally responsible for the failure! They dislike allocating extremely limited resources to address problems properly. Behavioral problems take money to solve! If parents cannot control behavior than therapy is required....which costs $$$.

Parents should not have to advocate that much! Poor people don't have the luxury to continuously advocate for their children. They often have inflexible work schedules.[/quote]

Sorry, but it sounds like that was exactly the case. Your sister wasn't happy with the school's support, so she moved her child.

Furthermore, advocating for your child is not "a luxury", it's your job as a parent. You can't do that or don't want to do that, don't have children. [/quote]
I almost Hate people like you. People who have no idea what it's like to have any experience outside of their very own narrow perspective people. People like you who don't understand that sometimes life can change on a dime and your circumstances today may not be ur circumstances the day after.PITY on you!
I hope to God that you never suffer a devastating medical catastrophe, job loss, family separation or of some other unforeseen change in circumstance that turns your world up side down. Then again maybe that's what it will take for you to understand that a lot of things that a lot of us especially middle-class people have arecluxuries to those who are struggling in poverty.[/quote]

You make a whole lot of assumptions about someone whom you know nothing about. I have suffered my share of devastation, unfortunately. However, I'm not sure what any of that has to do with the topic at hand.[/quote]
