LOL at all the supposed SCHOLARS that are in this thread. what a joke.
Well, actually if we believe there are things going on in the home that are not in the best interest of the child we are legally bound to report it. If a parent needs to be chewed out a bit for not doing their job of making sure the child gets work done at home to learn then by all means thats more than fair. You had the kid now do your job by holding up your end of the deal.
Here, unless the kid is physically abused, you can't do much of anything about his parenting.
You TRY and teach them, that's all you can do. You just hope something sticks.
Right and that's more what I mean. Its not just physical abuse here but for the sake of discussion I'll just use that as the example.
There isn't much you can do about parenting but you can kind of remind them that they need to hold up their end of the bargin. Otherwise when you rip on me understand I'm doing my all and so should you.
The teachers here have parent teacher conferences twice a year and tell them what they need to do, etc. but most don't even bother showing up. It's sad.
We have PK students who most of the time don't even show up. It starts young.
Sounds like here.
If the district I'm in wants to see real change they've to start with the young kids. In a few years they will see the change they seek.
I agree its really sad.
The Josh,
Are you also gonna start using the new Common Core Curriculum based standardized testing? THIS is going to KILL most schools
Yeah, it appears we're going towards that. I'm not sure how that is going to come in to play for me since I teach the computer classes.
Not really. Then the teacher would've taken the bait and been drawn out into a long discussion about everything under the sun EXCEPT what she was supposed to be focusing on. She made the wise, and correct decision letting doucheboy get his little moment of attentionwhoring then bail to go puff his J, so the class could get back to their assignments with minimal interruption. You might not see that, but every teacher here did.
Well its all computer based, so you should be busy as hell, LOL. Im sure admins will be hounding you for help. It looks killer to me. Its written at AP level and its basically text deciphering, analysis, and writing. Its almost as if they want us to fail to leave public ed. opened for privatization.
