it's chasing the wind.  Things need to be fixed at home period.  PP nailed it.  Teachers aren't social workers or counselors expecting schools to fix neglect and indifference at home is a fools errand. [/quote]

It's always a joy to read on DCUM that poor, black, and Hispanic parents are neglectful and indifferent.[/quote]

If the majority of kids failing are minorities, whose fault is it?

Should we blame the teachers?  the curriculum?  a combination of the two?

What role do parents play?

I've spend 90% of my time in DCC and NEC schools. I would often say that we ARE the gap.  Now, I'm at a school with whites who are underperforming - kids who would rather work than attend school, kids with poor attendance, kids with gaps in skills.

Should we blame the teachers?  the curriculum?  a combination of the two?

And again, what role do parents play?

See where I'm going with this?

DCUM doesn't see parts of the county where there are poor whites!

You all need to get out more.
