My wife is a teacher (children aged 11-18). Parents think that everything is down to the teachers and that the parents have no responsibility. No responsibility for doing homework, for being polite, for not fighting in class, for anything..
Make the parents go into school with them.. if they lose money through not working tough... they have responsibilities make them live up to them... </rant> -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Stephen Russell Sent: 24 November 2009 22:04 To: ProFox Email List Subject: [OT] Is this the problem with education today? Parents of Children Skipping School Face Criminal Charges in Memphis http://bit.ly/4qHBWu from the article "Under the program, children who miss five or more days of school have the option to be paired with an adult mentor instead of facing prosecution for skipping school. The parents charged did not respond to notices sent to them regarding their children's attendance." Reads like the parents don't care. Maybe they don't understand what they are sent? mmmmm. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer SQL Server DBA Web and Winform Development Independent Contractor Memphis TN 901.246-0159 [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
