[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of it is true, but we have a few really good teacher this year who are holding the kids accountable and really tuff with grading but they are also teaching them the the skills that they didn't get in ES or MS.  The teachers can do far more and some choose not to.  The worst are the ones who will not read or return email when you try to work with them.[/quote]

[b]Parents don’t care. Period. I have 12 kids who had over 26 absences each in quarter 1. It’s time for a mirror.[/quote][/b]

Our 1st quarter report cards went out on Wednesday and the principal has already gotten upset parents contacting him. This was the first year I've included in my comments how many unexcused absences a student has during the quarter (for students who are headed toward chronic absenteeism). Apparently some of my student's parents didn't like reading, "Larlo/Larla has had _____ unexcused absences this quarter. I guess the truth hurts. We have two FT people at our school whose sole job it is to figure out how to get kids to come to school and cut down on chronic absenteeism. We hit 50%+ chronically absent students last school year.

Our student's test scores factor in to our end of year evaluation but it's only if our students miss around 50 days of school are they exempted from our calculation. I have students exempted every year and ones that nearly meet this number. Let's just say that a student missing 45 days has no chance in he** of meeting my target. [/quote]
