[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can a school that's predominately white and affluent get a 4? Practically zero ESOL. Less than 10% farms.

That speaks volumes about the teachers and curriculum, right?

The only reason native born UMC white kid's are struggling with English must be the lack of vocabulary and grammar. This isn't Appalachia...it's MoCo.[/quote]

So you go directly to the teachers and not the parents?  If the parents aren't doing their part at home - ensuring they do HW, for example, even though that's pretty much a joke now - what can a teacher do?

I'm not saying all teachers are 5-star educators, but once you head into Teacher Blaming Land, you only make things worse.  Bad curriculum - if people are wedded to it - can also cause damage. Unfortunately, many teachers are forced to follow a bad framework, too fearful to do what's best for students.

So please think before you start blaming.  Not all white kids are super bright!  That's also offensive b/c if you flip your statement, poor minorities should all be failing.[/quote]
