[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Even when parents care”.

Sorry but caring is an action word, you demonstrate care and caring. Not merely say it.

It is not a concept you willy nilly say that you are, yet do nothing to show that you care. [/quote]

Well, the parents cared enough to leave their country and families to come here so their children could live a better life. They care enough to work 2-3 jobs to house and feed their kids. I wish that they understood better how to support their kids’ education and how being educated helps break a lot of cycles but we can’t say they objectively “don’t care” because they do not have those skills or experiences. Many of my students’ parents have an elementary education  and aren’t literate themselves. [/quote]
This is absolutely true for many parents living in poverty and/or Title I zones but I don’t think we do the communities any service by perpetuating model minority stuff. Some of the parents are terrible, don’t work hard, and have very few social-emotional skills. That’s where a bulk of the problems come from. Do you get that in wealthier districts? Occasionally but that personality type makes it harder to afford life in more expensive zones. [/quote]

I’m not sure you understand what model minority means if you’re using it in that context. [/quote]
