[quote=Anonymous]They can’t fix the problem until they acknowledge: 1. For whatever reason, teachers routinely mark students absent even when they are present. 2. A growing percentage of students aren’t interested in receiving an education. Many/most are immigrants or first generation who must work and/or provide childcare for their immigrant families (often extended families). Wrap your head around that, mcps. 3. The lowered bar and lack of consequences make it nearly impossible for students to take school seriously…even the “good” kids. Gentle suggestion: go observe an area catholic school to get a handle on setting expectations and enforcing rules. ICYMI: those schools raise the bar instead of lowering it, and even low income BIPOC students thrive. PS - If mcps can’t provide safe restrooms, then how on earth can they aspire to provide a rigorous education? #overit[/quote]
