Those scores are better than they ones here! Which is why as of this school year over 39% (up form 33%) of the district is homeschooled or goes to a private christian school. It could actually be higher than that, as in Missouri homeschoolers are not required to register with the district.
When I sub, I see teachers who don't care, parents who just want to argue with the teachers, and parents whose kids go home to an empty house till 7 pm then tell the teacher they (the parent) were to tired to help the kids with homework.
I also see a lot of overweight kids who stay up watching tv and playing ds half the night (they admit to it) then they want to sleep in class.
Parents say its the teachers job, teacher say its the parents fault....both need to step up and take 100% responsiblility and then things will fall into place.
