[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools where the vast majority of students and teachers are focused on one thing and one thing only: Learning.[/quote]

Then there aren't any good schools. Kids are kids.[/quote]

Sorry to hear neither you nor your kids have enjoyed good schools so far.

May I encourage you to try harder.

I think that poster meant that the "good schools" are usually good because the kids are prepared and well supported at home..not because the teachers and curriculum are so superior at some schools.[/quote]
DP.. I think it's a combo of home and school environment.  A good school doesn't have high teacher turnover, and IMO, the #1 indicator of how good a school/staff is how well they educate the lower income students who don't have the support at home for enrichment.  If the low income kids do well in school, it tells me that not only do their parents care about their education, but that the teachers and admin are doing something right.  That's not to say they should ignore the wealthier kids (we are middle/upper income). Such kids need challenging curriculum too, which leads to, a good school also knows how to address the needs of a diverse student body - and I don't mean ethnicity or SES.[/quote]
