[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was talking to one of my neighborhood FCPS teacher who mentioned that there are lazy parents who can't get their kids to do basic homework, no daily reading, etc... no afterschool prep to get them ready for school. Teacher's teen daughter is a tutor at out local Kumon center that DC attends.

Same with older's basketball coach. No Prepp, no play minutes. DC learnt it the hardway. Now they prepp alot, and are on the court more and get a few baskets every single game, while the unprepared players and their parents just sit and watch, and ofcourse cheer for entire team.  [/quote]
Couldn't have said this better. Lazy and irresponsible parents foolishly assume they can outsource their parenting responsibility to public school teacher and team coach, and invest no time into prepping their child at home.  [/quote]
 
How does this relate to this topic and AAP? Also, reading to your kid and doing HW isn’t typically the prepping ppl refer to on here. That’s basic parenting. Taking paid courses and doing workbook drills on tests like cogat and NNAT, is prepping. [/quote]
You must be one of the privileged suburban college graduated who discourage low-income families from using affordable resources and shame their parents and students who invest their own time for their betterment. Preparing outside of school is critical and necessary as public school teachers are burdened dealing with ill-prepared students, and it doesn't require expensive resources. Upper-middle-class, college-educated parents quietly use their expertise to help their children read and write at home. However, take full liberty into shaming less-educated, low-income families for buying a $20 workbook, which costs less than two Spicy McCrispy meals, to assist their children. This double standard is unfair and perpetuates educational inequality.
To low income families: you can help your kids and here is the link:

Thanks for sharing the rich people's best kept secrets with the middle class.  I'll look into these workbooks.  Btw, Spicy McCrispy is my favorite too. Do try the egg mcmuffin, but ask them to sub the round egg to get the real egg.  So much better[/quote]
