[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a number of people here who are saying something like "well, if kids can't read after kindergarten, they're not bright, so it's not the school's fault."

Schools should serve children of average and below average intelligence as well, and if you think otherwise, you are a really awful person.[/quote]

Yes +1000. Also schools should serve children with life experiences that put them off track. I had a friend who lost his mother at four years old after a long cancer battle. He entered K not reading and it took a couple of years to catch up. The school invested in him, his family did as well, and he was able to catch up. I met him in college and he remembers the struggle and people thinking he was "dumb".

There are thousands of kids now going through traumatic experiences. The schools have to be ready for them when they return.  All kids will need more support, but if the kid was already at-risk, even more is needed.

Of course, this is DCPS we're talking about so their answer to problems like this will probably be to just keep schools closed even longer. [/quote]
