[quote=Anonymous][quote]NP.  The teachers can only do so much to educate kids who have poor home lives, receive improper care, and resist attending school. MI think it's a shame that the blame lies on educators when students, whether minorities or not, underperform - no wonder there is such burn out in the teaching profession.

Do we blame our doctors when a smoker dies from cancer?  No?  Then why do we blame teachers for underperforming children when the children are clearly not set up to be successful in their home lives?[/quote]

I attended DCPS. The teachers could do a LOT more. Many are lazy as hell, bidding their time until retirement, doing the job to get the student loans forgiven and/or aren't challenging the students to perform above anything more than mediocrity. I'm not blaming the teacher, but they play a part in the dysfunction.

Do you have experience with small towns? Rural areas? Poor whites? How do you think they view education? I would really like to know your answer.
