[QUOTE="drsmitty74, post: 1544495, member: 745973"] I commend you for working with your kids. It's not easy and it takes a lot of time and effort. I am a parent of two young kids. I too, along with my wife, make sure our kids are learning, EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. One of my two kids (daughter) is a special needs child. When I get home at night, my wife and I take turns helping each child. I take certain subjects to help our 12 year old son and my wife takes others. We find the best teaching methods for my son and we implement that. We are taking it upon ourselves to do what schools can't, or refuse to do. I don't need anyone lecturing me on the subject of parenting. Teachers are not paid enough and I'll be the first to agree with that, but parents shoulder responsibility as well. My point in all this, is that a lot of parents, do not take the time to do what we do with our kids, and just continue to blame the schools/teachers for their kids' poor performance, and, subsequent poor test scores. So, back to the point of this thread, now that we have poor test scores, it seems we need to get rid of the tests to make it go away. I was GOING to be done talking about this, but ya got me! ;) [/QUOTE]
