The end result is that the best teachers refuse to work in these districts. They get burned out by the students' lack of interest in learning. I even know several teachers and other district workers who were physically threatened by students.

Without a solid foundation of support from parents/guardians the students who schools in bad areas don't have a chance.

You are correct. You simply can't dress them up for school on the first day and send them off to school and that includes good schools as well.

I have been accused when our son was in school of being a helicopter parent by people who have never had a child.

Well god forbid I should actually give a damn.

One of my pet peeves was all my friends have cellphones. Get your grades up and I'll think about it but it is not going to bed with you.

We attended every parent teacher meeting and then some.
