[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a kid in a (let's just say it) nonwhite DCPS and constantly wonder if the experience there with parent expectations of teachers and staff (i.e., these staff just objectively are not as professional as we are in our own jobs, not even close) makes me wonder (get angry) about what the experience must be like for lower-income/non-English-speaking families where they might not question how teachers and principals are doing their jobs. These families are likely not getting the level of service they deserve. They and their kids are being told that they are not succeeding/not supported/not given rigorous work/put in a vicious cycle of poor results and negative expectations and I wish somebody expected greater professionalism from the people who are effectively gatekeepers for their future success. Sorry to be so negative.[/quote] Parents are the biggest gatekeepers and yet teachers wonder why parents aren't held more accountable, too.[/quote]
