[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ahhh, if only that were true, we wouldn't be in the situation we're in. unfortunately, there are many parents out there who don't truly care about their childrens' welfare, or at least not to the point to do anything about it. too many just want to have them and then let everyone else take care of them.[/quote] The current education reform climate exasperates the problem of disengaged parents and communities. Excessive school choice sends the message: If there are problems, don't try to help - just leave. Now, the battle being waged is on teachers (bc school choice didn't work), and it sends another powerful message: If students aren't performing up to expectations, it is simply the teachers' fault; parents and community members need not worry, we will punish our teachers for being so terrible.
