Great idea, except most of the educators are making students more stupid than the previous batch.
That's probably more their parents.
Yep, no doubt more parents are looking the other way and expecting teachers to raise their kids.
I would say. Wouldn't you agree that, in your household, it wouldnt matter that the kids had crappy teachers? I stay involved, myself. I expect my kids to tell me when they are struggling, and we figure it out together. I dont let them fall behind. It makes all the difference.
Yes it does.
Years ago my next door neighbor bought a portable basketball hoop. Before you knew it, we had every kid in a five block area here.
They played from the time they got home from school until way past dark non stop. A few times I threatened to call the cops. I gave them until 10:00 pm, and that was it.
These were not just teens, these were kids as young as 10. I wondered WTF their parent(s) were at? Who lets their kids stay out that late on a school night? Didn't they have homework to do? Didn't they have to shower and get enough sleep for the next school day?
The best teachers in the country can't help kids with parents like that.
