[quote=Anonymous]So we have been arguing for 41 pages teachers, what can parents realistically do to improve conditions?  I voted for a school board that I thought would support teachers.  I would gladly vote for more funding for our local schools.  I believe that we need smaller class sizes, particularly in ES. I have addressed the behavior problems in my kids that have been brought to my attention.

But, I will defend my kids when appropriate.  Having been lied to several times by trusted adults about their behavior, I will ask questions and not just assume that you are right and they are wrong.(On the flip side, I won’t assume that they are right and you are wrong).  And I won’t allow my kid to pick on other kids, but since the schools can’t stop the mean girl crap, I have given my DD permission to defend/protect herself as necessary, even if she too has to be mean in the process.

The people in charge of the system have pitted teachers against parents when really, we are all stuck in the same broken system trying to get through it. These fights are a distraction from the real problem. So how do we work together to actually fix things?[/quote]
