[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It all starts at home. Educators cannot be both educators and parents, although many of them admirably try. Parents must be engaged in their child's education and provide basics like adequate sleep and nourishment. When these baseline things are not being provided it's difficult to see how a school can make up for all of the inadequacies regardless of how many wrap-around services they provide. [/quote]

This is it, but they still blame the teachers.[/quote]

The bad ones, yes. And there were a LOT of bad teachers when the reformers took over and cleaned house.  Actually, now I think about it, many of them got jaded and started throwing their hands up and saying, "there's nothing I can do but warehouse these kids because of their home lives."  How'd you keep your job?

It is one thing to say, "this is hard and getting harder and we need support from parents and social services and the community."  But you lose all credibility when you deny that teaching and teachers are a part of the equation or deny that bad teachers exist or need to be removed. When you play in the mud with pigs you get dirty. (Is the former president of the WTU out of jail yet?)[/quote]
