I feel there are more children in AP who want to learn than there are children
who don't want to learn and if the powers that be could find a way to legally
separate the two-I know the school system will turn around--but first everyone
has to get on the same accord---the main goal is educating our future.
Discipline needs to be instilled for all----children-parents-teachers. The
fight should not be against one another, the fight should be for the children-
their future and our future depends on it. We need to change our public
schools from being a daycare center and make it what it was built to be a
school of learning.

Private email asks:
the question is what does one do with the kid that tells you to go f yourself?
YOu send him
out of the room and they're back the next day or 10 minutes later.
IMO
So many variables -
Does the teacher really command respect, know the subject matter and pedagogy
well, and is he or she a fair and competent teacher?
If so, does the administration and board have zero tolerance for behavior which
interferes with the education of the other students; if so, great reason to
have strong suspension and expulsion criteria.
if not, is there mentoring support for the teacher by master teachers?
Are parents being held accountable for the behavior of their children? Are
they invited to sit in classrooms?
Is good student behavior being noted and commended?
Do less than effective teachers still get satisfactory observation reports
because the district can't attract any better emplyees, or conditional
evaluations contingent on specific areas of needed improvement within a
specified time?
If not, do supervisors fulfill their job descriptions to document the poor
teacher performance, required for dismissal?
Are counselors always available to student and not overloaded with too many
students and CYA paperwork?
Just a few examples. Hard work, but it can't be achieved with lots of catered
luncheons from Frank's, Serpico's, TJ's, et al.
Watch the number of students coming and going to school, particularly high
school, with books, indicating homework. Usually a good indication of how
serious the district is about academics.

Abridged version, cuts to the chase:
People understanding that they`re going to be accountable for the work that
they`re doing and they`re going to be accountable for producing results.....
