[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Exactly. If we really expected schools to solve all of the problems of poverty, we would provide enough resources to the schools so that they would have enough people for all of those functions, instead of expecting teachers to do everything.

A different teacher here who spent years with Title I.  With all the resources in the world, the school cannot be all the things that the PP listed.  Money is not going to solve the problem.  It requires a change in priorities.  
For example, all this talk about changing school names and transgender issues. [b] Neither of these is going to really help anyone. [/b] Yet, we are spending time and resources on them.  The FCPS School Board has spent more time on these issues than the budget--or, at least it appears that way.  [/quote]

Oh, I don't know. I think that when the school board decides to get rid of a school name that was picked in the 1950s to express resistance to civil rights, that helps all of us. I also think that when kids who are transgender can go use the public restroom just like kids who are cisgender, that helps kids who are transgender, as well as those of us who care about the education of all children. You can't learn well when you're worried about where and when you're going to be able to use a restroom.[/quote]
