[QUOTE="Honey Badger, post: 1710651, member: 4896"] So we go from parents NOT taking responsibility for their kids and their actions to teacher bashing? You know.... as a teacher I can tell you that a students attitude towards education closely mimics the attitude of the parent/s in the home. If it isn't important enough for the parent to get the kid to school on time, or see that the kid even goes to school the student is not not likely to concern themselves with doing well academically or on state tests. Yet it's the teachers obligation to put on a dog and pony show every day to appease the masses. Do my job for a while and then make statements about us not doing our jobs. EDIT: I will grant that there are some old timers that are close to retirement who don't worry about test scores! OR coaches who are more concerned about W's than they are about educating kids..... Oh and I am a coach but I don't fall into that pile. [/QUOTE]
