[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a nurse practitioner and WTW parent, I would argue that our school system is RESPONSIBLE because it takes a village. Kids spend the majority of their waking lives at school or performing work for school. The teachers at WTW know that homework is a problem and yet most don't do anything to fix it. FCPS also has a teacher task force to look at homework loads, but it's been stalled for two years.The WTW Director of Student Services, Dr. Carlin Floyd, gets it, but most of the administration at WTW and in FCPS Central Administration have their head in the sand. It's time that parents and students STAND UP and make their voices heard! Pleas consider honoring Minjoo's life by making a difference and start Speaking Truth to Power.

100% true. I made damn sure to let my voice be heard by the administration at my daughter's high school, and also spoke to students at the high school personally, which really pissed them off. Students still approach me on social media because they need someone to talk to who gets it.[/quote]

Wrong focus. [b]Teacher and adminstrators are merely responding to what the community wants.[/b] These threads are constantly focusing on school performance. [/quote]

Parents often have the 'wrong focus'. Teachers and administrators need to have the cojones to stand up to parents and let the parents pull their child out of the school if they are unhappy. And don't tell me about elections - I pay a lot of tax dollars and most of that money goes to teaching kids who are here illegally, and those people still keep getting elected by the same idiots who demand so much of their kids, they destroy them in the process.

My close friend has been fighting this with me after seeing her son at a near collapse point, trying to jump through hoops to make these idiot teachers and administrators happy (they want their test scores and ranking, you see). I went to pick him up at a therapy appointment and told him that it is NOT him, that HE was fine and WILL be fine in life, that it's the morons in this area and the school system that's in the wrong, and just because they are the authority figures, it doesn't make them right. The therapist said "listen to her - she's 100% correct".  The mental health professionals in this area are trying to help undo the destruction the schools are inflicting. My DD's pediatrician called my DD's high school abusive, and said he doesn't use that word lightly - that it's exactly what he means - and it's not normal for such a huge amount of kids in one area to need mental health services.

I had a long talk with my friend's son on the way home and really opened his eyes to the political warfare inside the school system. He needed to hear it - ALL students need to hear it. [/quote]

Agree 100%, all high achieving schools get the badge of 'top school/Governor's award' at the cost of their student's blood. Shame on these school to tout their Trophies!!! No one in the administration cares about the health and happiness of the students. I've seen teachers preaching kids good values and at the same time bullying them to get their goals. [/quote]
