I don't have any gripes with the school systems yet except that kids don't seem to be taught much respect anymore. But that has more to do with home-life probably.

Many parents, now days will NOT encourage their children to do their school work. I had a student once tell me he and his dad watched the football game instead of his assignment. Yes it is important to spend time with your children, but come on responsibility of getting your "JOB" done does come first. I had a child miss school, missing an exam due to fact that he and his dad went out of time. His dad needed to go pick up some materials for a job and let him take a long weekend to go with him... Most students come to school these days with a do not care attitude... In the short time I have them, I do try and instill some self respect in them. I think it is wonderful that some parents have that opporunity to home school.... But there are some of us still out there trying to teach the ones who would not be home schooled... it is sad some are there only till the day they can officially DROP OUT.... THESE ARE MY CHALLANGE FOR THIS NEXT YEAR.... TO TRY AND SAVE AS MANY AS I CAN. In one school system, an article was in the paper this morning where the State Superintendent, is wondering "if the counselors across the state now devote about 40 percent of their to scheduling student achievements tests mandated by federal and state law and working with the instructional Teachers to mak sure all testing requirements are met. As a result, the traditional support system for students is being jeopardized when they need it the most." God Bless all you Teachers and Home Schooling Moms out there.... the Future is our children... and right now our responsibility is to make sure they have all the tools they will need. much love, Colleen Teachers in the system have a battle brewing when the teaching stops at school and does not continue on in the school.

My goal has been to keep the schools from getting in the way of my kids' education. In short, my job is to detox and help them sift through all the testing clutter and info they get at school and make it apply to real life and life skills. It's been a great balance for me and my time. I admire you for your efforts and especially for recognizing things you want to improve!
