[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to get the parents involved. If parents can't or won't be involved, the school will never get better for most of those kids. [/quote] Involved, how?[/quote] DP.. [b]care about the kids' education. [/b]Make sure the kids do their HW and tell the kids to get a good education. A parent doesn't necessarily have to be able to help with HW, though that definitely helps. MCPS provides Saturday school and summer classes for struggling students. I took a math summer class once in MS (not in MCPS). It enabled me to take more advanced math class in HS. I grew up low income with parents who didn't speak English. And I was a latch key kid.[/quote] Most parents care about their kids' education, don't they?[/quote] Actions speak louder than words. [/quote] What actions, specifically, are you listening to?[/quote] demonstrable evidence that one "cares about their kids' education." you know, like reading together at the library, going to free museums, talking about life to young child, instilling values like working hard/studying/not being absent from school, discipline, talking with teachers/working with teachers as a team. stop the excuse, you had a child, now raise him or her. that's your job.
