There are 4 teachers in my family and one of the biggest issues besides just not providing enough resources and working 50+ hour work weeks (although this has pretty much always been the case), and particularly a worsening issue is parental involvement and responsibility in their child's education. Less parents showing up for parent teacher conferences. Parents want home school for their kids but many parents don't wanna have to put real effort into that. Parents are mad about curriculum, grades, etc but aren't communicating with their children or aren't meeting their children's educational needs to keep them from struggling. Basically it all comes down to: I want public school teachers to be my child's parent at school but I don't want public school teachers to be my child's parent at school.

      What was the mother doing with the student to strengthen his education? Did she create a volunteer activity or require him to find it and report back to her? Did she physically go to his volunteer activity and supervise then log the time he worked? This can be done anytime the student isn’t in school. Why wasn’t this mother more proactive during the gathering of community service hours instead of waiting until the report card came out? If the student feels he isn’t getting a volunteer job, shouldn’t he be the first to initiate the activity? Moral to story. If you have ONE child or fifteen, don’t be too busy to communicate with the school and your child. Don’t expect “the system” to raise your child!

The whole point was that the kid wasn't in school yet somehow got a report card with full grades and work he didn't and COULDN'T have done. She probably expected the kid to do the work and study whenever he would be health-wise better and capable of doing it, rather than having someone else change his report.

It has to do with not wanting to deal with kids that are not performing and run the risk of being held back which messes with graduation rates. Graduation rates affect a school's accreditation and can lead to an overhaul that can lead to the principal and teachers being fired.

    One of my sister's neighbors is a high school teacher in a different county. She was complaining that she is NOT allowed, under ANY circumstances, to fail a student. The worst she can give them is a "D" grade. She has been in a situation where a student handed in a test with none of the questions answered -- literally a zero grade -- and she was told to give the student 20 points because they wrote their name correctly in the designated spot at the top of each page. Our education system is a system for sure... but there's very little educational about it if you're a student in a failing school that the higher-ups want to make look better.

      @@CatholicTraditional That is ridiculous. When I was in high school, the first unexcused absence was an office detention. A second unexcused absence meant an F in the marking period for every class missed. Ten absences in a semester, excused or not (including suspensions), meant Saturday detention to make up missed instruction. Twelve absences for the semester meant you failed regardless of performance or Saturday detention. It was possible to fail three classes and still graduate on time, and students who missed class due to severe medical conditions could be given an exemption from Phys Ed to allow them to make up more classes so they graduate on time, but they would make kids repeat a grade if needed, even in middle school. I had two kids in my 6th grade class who were repeaters, one of whom became a C student the second time (I don't know how the other did, I only know about the one because I was tutoring him).

    This all started with the “no student left behind” movement that happened. Parents were upset because their kids were failing school. The reason a decent chunk of the kids were failing was because they had learning needs that weren’t being addressed. Now it did help to a certain degree with adjusting the curriculum to some of their needs. Buut there’s a nation worth of schools and big cuts made to education spending to fill billionaires and crooked politicians pockets with. And with barely enough funding for a classroom of 35 students to that ONE teacher, theres no wonder why there’s this system doing this just to maintain funding. The school system wouldn’t get the funding they need to educate the kids who are benefiting. Including the special Ed department. The whole national financial system caused the education system to become a black hole where the people who were once forgotten in failure from school are NOW being forgotten in failure of the school educating them but not being responsible for it because they’re doing it to survive as a system. THIS was started by BUSH Jr btw. Which means I can accurately say that having republicans in charge always puts our governmental social systems in jeopardy financially. Hell, dare I say they always drive up our debt? At least the last 3 democrats have pulled us out of debt or close to even. Last 4 republicans drove us into extreme debt during their presidencies. Just saying, you wanna fix the schools, fix the root of the problem. Stop voting for people who will just make the problem worse until there’s nothing left of what you’re trying to fix

Thankfully, we were on a semester system, so she already passed half the classes for the year before the accident; if we weren't on a semester system, she would've had to repeat the grade.

    Bless Ms. Harrison for demanding better, and for involving the media in this pursuit. More parents need to stand up and INSIST that the educational system prepare their children for the Real World. Baltimore has plenty of problems to work on, as do many other cities and towns; failing school systems will only exacerbate their current problems.
    I live in a small Connecticut town of 3,400 residents; last year it was revealed that only TWO sixth graders could read, write, or perform arithmetic at their grade level; all others were remedial at best. There was such a community outcry from the parents that the town hall meeting following that revelation lasted several hours longer than scheduled because EVERY parent was up in arms about it and wanted to speak about it.
    I don't care what messaging we're being force-fed from various governmental talking heads - parents DO have a say in what goes on in the classroom, and have every right to INSIST that their grievances be addressed IMMEDIATELY. I'm old enough to remember everyone quoting Whitney Houston: "I believe the children are our future, teach them well and let them lead the way." Today's children will be the ones responsible for running our nation in the years to come, it is imperative that we educate them and give them the tools they need to be successful in life.

      Unfortunately the educational system has a major crisis on its hands. My sister is a Special Ed teacher and often speaks about IEPs and how there are teachers who are causing her job to be extremely difficult because of their delay (procrastination) to put together their lesson plans. Also, most students shuffled her way shouldn't be consider for IEPs but there are teachers who fail to teach them accordingly or accommodate the student. We often have discussions about todays kids especially those who enter 1st year of college and not being prepared when they think that they are. It's a rude awakening and results in them dealing with emotional setbacks like anxiety and depression. I am a parent of two and have questioned them numerous of times about homework, papers, essays and so forth because I recall the amount of time and effort it took me to complete a math equation on several papers and having to construct a 5 or more page paper. Of course, I am not naïve that this is an entirely different generation and people learn differently but with 2 currently in college its a wake call for them both. I understand the use of technology but it seems like kids today are to reliant of those things and it takes away the work ethic and certain skills that contribute to overall learning. Basically anything worth having such as a college education with a degree requires much effort and it will not be easy, it should be challenging to ensure that you are getting your money's worth as well.

    Not in MD, but schools are only concerned about assessment test scores. They coach them on passing those tests and not much else. Kids aren't being educated, they're being trained to pass a arbitrary test.

    Personally I do not depend on the school system to teach my son. He has daily after school programs (coding, math, Spanish and chess), his summer camp is at a museum, I make sure to take him to educational day trips on a regular basis, we talk about history and watch documentaries together. He is 9 and I work 50 hours or more a week.
    There is only so much the schools can and are willing to do with 25-30 kids in a room. Here is the sad part- if you live in an area that doesn’t pay a lot of taxes with religious buildings sucking the community dry on every other block because not only do they not pay taxes they still get breaks like PPP loans it’s even worse. Parents pour into your children or move to a better school district. Those are the hard facts. It takes years for real changes to make a difference and most parents aren’t willing to put that type of time, effort and fight in.

      You live in a delusion. Most of these parents are a product of the same inequities in education that their kids are now victims of. They themselves can't read, write nor do math at college level let alone teach their children to do as such. There are one offs, anomalies to this, but that's not what our tax dollars are meant to speak to. It's the inequities. The kids who fall in the gaps. These public schools receive multi million dollar budgets. The fiduciary responsibility lies with who we entrust these monies with. These kids are in school for 8 hours a day. That's more than enough time for children to learn how to read, write and perform math at grade level. We're not talking rocket science nor foreign languages. We're talking BASIC reading and writing. Elementary teachers are to teach basic fundamentals of learning, reinforce what's taught via homework and reflect the successful completion of assignments and testing through progress reports. A teacher who falsifies grades is doing so to cover up what they aren't doing and can't be bothered with doing which is teaching and grading. You receive a gold star for your beautiful efforts but realistically speaking, most parents in low income communities can not afford the time nor resources you've mentioned. How are you so ignorant to this? I'm aware that it's possible but I'm curious as to why.

      That would require Accountability for your OWN child, children, life, education, choices 🙄 . It's not easy but one has to be willing to put in the work... in yourself. Yeah I know ppl get paid to do a job but as we all know, not everyone does the job well or even feel bad about taking short cuts. End of the day, I'm investing in MY own child. Even if it's just my time ⏲️. Read 📚, make up homework, etc

    This happened at a college I attended online that was based in Ohio.
    I would check my work and grades, and almost daily I would see a grade drop, and then raise and then drop again. I reached out the the professors involved (it was happening jn over half my classes) and the answer I got was “ we are playing with the grades we will be done In a week. For almost a solid year the grades did not reflecting my actual knowledge level.

    That school ceo is expert in saying absolutely nothing. She didn't answer a damn thing. Needs to be put under oath and answer under penalty of perjury. Im sure They're like other school systems, they don't get money if students don't get good grades, so they put the grades on paper no matter what.

    This is exactly what happens when funding depends on getting that kid passed regardless of his/her performance. Push them through, cash the check and then move on to the next kid. And why won't the CEO stop and have a conversation? I think we all know why.

    Great on her for speaking up. Schools get away with a lot of shady stuff. When I was in 9th grade, my mom was going to sue my school and they deleted all of my student records so that she couldn't prove I was ever a student there. Luckily I had transcripts printed beforehand. Moved to a different school. But I think about that a lot.

    Wow, this is concerning! I'm really shocked to see how many students are being given good grades and (in this case) more than the minimum service hours, even when they barely (if even did) showed up to school! And seeing that the school board didn't answer anybody's questions puts a bad taste in my mouth.

    When my daughter was in elementary and jr high school going to a private school she would come home and have 3-4 hours of homework a night, the kids getting off the bus that went to the public schools wouldn't even have backpacks or books with them. In High School (public) my daughter finished all the graduation requirements for an honors diploma easily in two years and then took all college classes for the last two years at a nearby community college. The public schools have definitely changed, it was a completely different experience than what I went through in the 70's and 80's.
