[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make it much harder to become a teacher, and pay teachers more. [/quote] Its not that simple. You need a good curriculum and several different teaching styles to meet each kids needs. In ES, especially you need multiple (at least 1-2 per grade) [b]ESOL, reading specialists, speech pathologists, OT to provide services and extra help to kids struggling. You need more psychologists to do evaluations of all kids struggling in any area. And, social workers and therapists[/b] (as some parents cannot access resources due to finances and other parents are just too busy and don't care). The same goes for MS and HS but at different levels. Early intervention and catching things early makes a huge difference and the key to success. [/quote] Poor immigrant kids rose up the socio-economic ladder way before we had any of this in the school system. What we did have in previous decades were higher expectations for participation in school and classes that focused specifically on learning English. People were also motivated by the fact that they needed to support themselves, rather than relying on government programs. [/quote]
