[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know what else you can do for them. The county has already spent a lot of money and resources trying to help the lowest learners. But you can’t help somebody [b]who doesn’t want to help themselve[/b]s.

What they need is strong family support, but the school schools help there?

How do you know they don't want to help? Parents of all levels want to help in a way they can, for some it's just trying to stay alive have you [b]met some of these families and know what kind of situation they're in?[/quote][/b]

Yes, I have.  For many (not all) there is no push from the families to do well in school or even GO to school.  There is no motivation to perform better.

OP's also asking: "Parents/guardians of these students need assistance too but there is time and language and cultural barriers- getting them information about identifying learning issues, ELL services, attitude/views about learning?"

If what PP says is true, that there is no motivation to perform better, what exactly are the expectations of those parents?[/quote]
