It's not just about you and your kids. Your's and FCPS's inability to work with these families to help them understand what is needed for their children to succeed and give them the tools to help their children themselves is causing other children and teachers to have undue stress during the school day.[/quote]

I'm not going to chastise my neighbors. Perhaps FCPS should mandate parental involvement?

Are you just acting dumb? At our school the teacher gives weekly assignment homework and often sheets with instructions on how to help your child with a specific task. Yours could be more often and in English and Spanish with a cover sheet asking parents to work with their child particularly on topics A,B, and C with some short instructions on how to do so. Ideas for what to do with them on the weekends to support their learning. Do you not do this already? What is being done to facilitate the parents helping their children? I don't get it. People act like we should welcome immigrants and help them as much as possible, but then act like they're dumb as rocks. I'm sure these parents want to help their children. They just need some guidance. [/quote]

I help MY child with everything that she needs perfectly well, thank you very much.
