[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a teacher here are my thoughts:

-Nationwide ban on cell phones in schools.  It is seriously damaging student learning and engagement.  No teacher activity can realistically compete with a curated professionally design addictive app.  Students have little desire to even interact with each other in class now.
-Require parent participation.  We can’t raise their kids for them.
-Hold students accountable.  Students know exactly what they are doing and what the consequences are.  Lowering standards achieves nothing but lowering student engagement.
-Lower the cost of college.  Right now students are giving up hope and many don’t see the point of doing beyond the bare minimum.
-Increase career programs.  However, they cannot be dumping grounds.  Students must apply and already have the required skills.
-Fix immigration.  A lot of our ESOL students have made it clear they are here just for jobs and only come to school due to court requirements.
-Expand virtual schools for disruptive students or students who don’t want to come to school.  About 10% of my students barely come to school for various reasons.  Yet it’s my fault if they don’t pass.[/quote]
