Why is it that parents aren't taking responsibility for their children's education? Instead, politicians, talk show hosts, etc. are always saying that teachers should be paid according to test scores. What will happen to students with disabilities? Who will teach the autistic, downsyndrome, mentally retarded, severe handicap, ADHD, students, and many other who have some type of disability that affects their learning? Thirty, forty years ago, teachers were respected and looked up to. Today you call a parent to discuss a students horrible behavior or unacceptable language, and all parents say that's not my problem, it's yours. A teacher teaches approximately 185 to 200 hundred students a day. Every class is approximately 45 to 1 hr. These children need to go home do their homework and study for tests. Most children that come to school these days are more concerned with socializing and what they wear. It's more about being together with their boy/girlfriend amd having a good time. Parents make your kids accountable and responsible for their education.
