[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a nurse practitioner and WTW parent, I would argue that our school system is RESPONSIBLE because it takes a village. Kids spend the majority of their waking lives at school or performing work for school. The teachers at WTW know that homework is a problem and yet most don't do anything to fix it. FCPS also has a teacher task force to look at homework loads, but it's been stalled for two years.The WTW Director of Student Services, Dr. Carlin Floyd, gets it, but most of the administration at WTW and in FCPS Central Administration have their head in the sand. It's time that parents and students STAND UP and make their voices heard! Pleas consider honoring Minjoo's life by making a difference and start Speaking Truth to Power.

100% true. I made damn sure to let my voice be heard by the administration at my daughter's high school, and also spoke to students at the high school personally, which really pissed them off. Students still approach me on social media because they need someone to talk to who gets it.[/quote]

Wrong focus. Teacher and adminstrators are merely responding to what the community wants. These threads are constantly focusing on school performance. [/quote]

Some parents are obsessed about scores.  The schools cave to them.  The administrators are in a position to say no to the race to nowhere, and they choose not to.  What are the parents who aren't supportive of this to do?  Tell there kids not to do the hours of homework, take zeroes on projects with insane time commitments....If the schools give the assignments, all kids are stuck doing them, not just those from families that demand the rat race.  It's too late for my kid who is close to starting high school, but I hope at some point the administrators say enough is enough.  [/quote]
