[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reality is that Poverty is the 800 pound gorilla in education. It has numerous effects that can not be discounted but it is also why society has to figure out how better the options for these kids. It is easy to say to teachers, teach the child let society deal with the economics, but it is a lot harder when you face it day in day out. I know teachers that have been overwhelmed by the poverty of their students and have become more social workers than teachers, they are human. But before you judge, spend a week in these classrooms. [/quote] I'm curious: Do you believe that some teachers are better than others? Do you have any kids? Have you ever lobbied to get them in one classroom over another?[/quote]
