LOL. I knew that was coming. ONE MORE thing that SCHOOLS have to be responsible for...
Do you know how hard it is just to teach these children how to read? Do you realize that there are high schoolers who STILL DO NOT know how to read? And they are NOT in Special Education!
They ARE NOT paying us teachers ENOUGH money to be the MOMMA, DADDY, NURSE, DOCTOR, COUNSELOR, PRIEST/PREACHER/(whatever religious person)/FRIEND/CONFIDANT/NURTURER/ROLE MODEL/ALLY/PROTECTOR...LET ALONE
TEACHER!
Parents have to be held responsible and accountable for their children. I'm sorry, but they do! Hopefully, with our generation, our children will be more multiculturally astute and tolerant.
We (teachers) already have TOO DAYUM much on our plates to be added with something else. Maybe you'd understand if you were in the classroom day in and day out!
The hope lies with our future. One can only hope that things will get better.
