[quote=Anonymous]Public schools serve children of widely differing economic status who come from families different parenting styles and sets of expectations. Some of these parents help educate their children; others don’t. Then factor in the growing population of kids with IEPs and 504s for learning disabilities, as well as the kids who don’t speak much English, and an “inclusion-based” philosophy which throws them all in classrooms together… how well can you expect everyone’s needs and interests to be met? Does FCPS have children’s best interest at heart? The people at Gatehouse don’t work with children. The teachers do, but most of them are overwhelmed, and Gatehouse policies are only ever a burden not a support system. As a teacher, myself, I find that parents who are involved and community-minded (i.e., not trying to give their own kids unfair advantages, delivering consequences for their child’s disruptive behavior) have helped me the most. I thank God for the parents who are trying to ensure their kids are not only well educated, but also growing into productive and helpful members of society. [/quote]
