[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in a very affluent school and we have the same problem (incredibly disruptive groups of students who take up all the teachers time).  The high flyers get ignored, as do those on grade level (this is most of the students in our school - IGNORED). It is the disruptive ones, and those that need tons of interventions and help that get all the attention.  Their parents are a combination of entitled (not my little angel) and in complete denial (you just need to be nicer to her - she never behaves this way at home therefore it must be something you are doing to her at school) about their children's issues.[/quote]

Except at  the affluent schools, vast majority of students continue to meet grade level standards year after year, despite the couple disruptive students.  So either they aren’t getting ignored, or parents are making up all the lack of teaching at home.

The low income schools continue to fail to meet grade level standards for majority of their students year after year.  So either the teacher isn’t teaching them or they are unable to learn. [/quote]

It’s not the teachers. [/quote]
