[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Isn't that just life? Isn't a child's lot in life pretty much determined by the amount of time and energy his/her parents are willing to invest in his/her future? Is it society's responsibility to redress parental apathy? [/quote] Maybe not, but according to DCPS, it is the teachers' responsibility to bring kids up to grade level despite their parents' apathy. It's DCPS' responsibility to hire and retain teachers who can do that, but they have failed miserably in their attempts - probably because of the parent problem you describe, while they deny. Still, they keep their jobs, while many teachers lose theirs and the issues that make it hard for some kids to learn are not addressed. Now, if charters are successful, thanks to involved parents, what's left of DCPS will be even worse than it is. Who takes responsibility for that? The teachers? the parents? DCPS leadership?[/quote]
