[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The greatest indicator of academic success is parental GAF. No amount of money can help students overcome a family attitude of “school doesn’t matter”. (Maybe one in a million, and that’s why they make movies about it — because it’s so rare it makes you feel good.) How ridiculously unfair to deny resources to high achievers because a chunk of the population doesn’t know what good parenting looks like.[/quote] :roll: [/quote] I bet you also roll your eyes when your child’s teacher says they’re failing. [/quote] Lots of kids from good parenting aren't the best and highest achieving students. [b]Lots of kids from crappy parenting are excellent students[/b]. I guarantee you that not all of those kids in the bottom 10% have bad parenting with that indifferent attitude toward education. Tired of blaming the parents for everything. I'm sure your kid is fabulously successful - but with your attitude, I'm less certain of how great a parent you are.[/quote] This just isn’t true. Good parenting doesn’t guarantee a top 10% student, but bad parenting (like an outright hostile attitude toward any authority, including teachers) guarantees a bottom 10% student.[/quote]
