OK; not what Rocky's saying. He's saying that the CULTURE of the kids is the problem; that's home plus community in which they are growing up. Close the school and send the kids separately to OTHER performing schools; bring in the parents to AFTER SCHOOL classes so that the parent(s) can value what the kids are doing. Work at changing the CULTURE of failure; teachers usually have little to do with that.Damn, you sound just like all the other hack union teachers. It's never your fault, you just lack resources. RIGHT????????
