Let's say you are completely correct even though your assertions lack evidence. What you point out is not a matter of throwing money at Education but a cultural problem. What do you propose we do?There in lies the problem. Of her 28 students, only 2 or 3 parents give a damn. Most just send there kids to school so they dont have to be bothered. They havent learned anything in school since June 1st when grades were due yet they continue to goto school till tommorrow. All the kids are there every day. Oh and big suprise, she knows for a fact that 26 of the 28 families are either divorced or never got married in the first place. Parents did note changes when she came in. The change was that she actually called them about bad behavoir. The previous teacher didnt do ANYTHING, so the parents assumed everything was ok because their kids are pathological liars. At first i felt bad thinking these kids are ruining their one opportunity. Some refuse to take tests because the teacher is white. So she gives them F's. The school then informs her at the end of the year (May)that no student can be given a grade below 60 unless a failure notice was sent home in February. So some students that should be failing and sent to summer school pass with D's despite not doing a damn thing all year. Then they accuse her of being racist and some of their parents believe the kids. Its just a volatile atmosphere and im glad she wont be going back next year. Hopefully she finds a suburban school to get into even though its extremely hard to break into around here.
