[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Here's the difference --I don't put success in improving kids’ academic achievement completely on the backs of teachers. I realize that factors beyond the control of teachers make a huge difference and I fear the attitude that getting the most qualified teachers (if that can even be accomplished) will solve the underachievement problem we have here in DC with some children – overwhelmingly those who are poor. [/quote] Everyone else realizes this as well. For some reason, you seem to think that only the teacher quality issue should be ignored--and everything else addressed--until such time as every parent is wealthy and involved. The fact that you phrase it as "completely on the backs of teachers" shows how much of this is paranoia and a sense of victimization rather than a rational take on the problem.[/quote]
