[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think they are trying to but trying to do this has what has been the downfall of public schools.  Now they try to do too much and there is too much fluff.  They need to stop with the emotional lessons in HS homeroom l, all of the screening surveys that don’t result in anything and go back to traditional grading.   Look at all of emails we get on every topic imaginable now.

Public schools are trying to be everything to everyone and should just go back to teaching.  [/quote]

But if the goal of public schools is to get kids across the finish line of graduation by teaching them and helping them master the state's standards of learning, how do you do that for kids who have limited English skills, are homeless, are food insecure, are living in abusive homes, have absent parents, have no parents, have untreated mental illnesses, are disruptive in class, have drug and/or alcohol problems, or have special needs.  How do you "just go back to teaching" when that is your landscape? Are you saying that public schools systems should only serve those who have no extenuating circumstances and can function in a school setting where "just teaching" is the only support and resources they are entitled to?[/quote]
