[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]This video from 2012 says FCPS has over 50 parent centers including two parent liasons at Bucknell for the 200-300 students there. I'm really not understanding why these schools are failing. FCPS needs to figure this out. [/quote]

Lots of people love their kids but just don't understand the value of education.  I taught in such a school.  It was very difficult to get parent conferences.

What do they value then? Is there a way to get through to them another way? Why have a parent center if no one comes? There was another post that said California schools had success with immigrant families by communicating by text because a cell phone was the one luxury all these families had. [b]If they don't value education and there's no hope that they will[/b], why are we investing 2 to 4 times the amount of resources into these families as non-immigrant families? Maybe they'd prefer a different type of education more vocationally suited? I would hope they value education, but just don't realize the work that it takes to do well in school and don't know how to help. Which is why it's important in the elementary years to make parents aware of what is required in the US to graduate verses in their country and help give them the tools to help their children with the language and with school. But to say, things aren't working, but we're just going to throw money at them doesn't seem to be a solution and with the influx of immigrants, money will just get tighter.[/quote]

LOL...you people are funny.  In one thread it's immigrants taking over TJ because they value education too much and in others it's hopeless.......[/quote]
