[quote=Anonymous]I have a similar story to OPs except my experience is slightly different. I’ve worked with mediocre teachers and exceptional teachers in both environments. I found that some teachers gave less when I was in the school with high poverty and less parent involvement. It was like they gave up and felt nothing would make a difference. They didn’t stay after school because they knew most students would not come and parents would not return calls or emails. They taught to the minimum SOL standards. For the past 5 years I’ve been at a school with high parent involvement and high achieving students. Teachers will often show up early, stay hours after and are always meeting to discuss remediation and enrichment. The SOLs are not a concern but they are always discussing new ways to teach the content. [/quote]
