I thought it was the job of the schools to teach reading, writing and arithmetic. Apparently you disagree.
When the parents refuse to enforce homework and sue if Lil Johnny doesn't get an A or promoted to the next grade?
You can teach all you want. Doesn't mean it's gonna get learned.
Typical "blame the victim" mentality.
Nope....it's more like "blame the teacher" mentality when parents refuse to get involved in their children's education. It used to be that open houses and PTA organizations were overflowing. Now parents view schools as a babystting facility.
The kids who do well in school are the ones whose parents actually get involved, have regular contact with the teacher, make homework a priority at home and punish their kid if they get in trouble at school. THOSE are the kids who perform well in school. If their parents don't give a shit what kind of message does that send?
