Let's never look to the kids and their parents for responsibility, ok? Then we can pretend it's not our fault.

well if its all up to the kids and their parents why don't we let them keep the tax money that are funding our useless schools

Agreed or at least give me a rebate for spending money on a private school.

That's all well and good, as soon as we can also get refunds for the roads we don't use and for the fire/police protection we don't personally need.


How's that?

Consider that California, for example, just had a judge rule that home schoolers must have a teaching credential. I know the teachers unions are behind this, they know that home schoolers lead in all categories. The public schools are abysmal, largely due to the stranglehold of the left-leaning teachers working in the schools protected by unions, tenure. If there is a real issue to break thru, it has to be this one.

I don't know about the roads and fire protection, I think thats necessary, but obviously I don't think the police are doing their job

If the teacher's union is all powerful, why are over 100,000 teachers being laid off this year?

And they keep on building those prisons.....

ADD Teacher

Dear Parents:

I am very pleased to be your child's teacher this year and look forward
to working with both you and your student. Before beginning the year
however, I wanted to give you some information that might help us both
during the coming months. I am sure you are familiar with ADD (Attention
Deficit Disorder). Many students today have to deal with this difficult
disorder. I am very able to empathize with them because I, too, suffer
from ADD. Because of this, I hope you will be willing to make certain
accommodations that will help me work better. Here are some suggestions:

Use a variety of techniques to communicate with me about your child.

I may not remember to respond to a phone call, but repeated efforts by
mail, telegram and fax are sure to elicit an eventual response.

When you write notes to me, consider using various colored markers to
write your message. These help me to focus my attention.

Do not expect weekly progress reports on your child. Such reports
require organizational skills that are beyond the ability of ADD
subjects.

Please excuse any errors I might make in grading your child's paper. My
attention wanders from time to time. I will be happy to re-grade papers
with more than five significant errors, although it may take me several
weeks to get to such papers.

Understand that I only grade a small percentage of your student's work
so that I may be motivationally encouraged and predisposed to comply
with my task. I may occasionally mix up students grades. If you feel
this has happened, please notify me (in the manner suggested above). If
I am able to discover where the error was made, I will be happy to
correct your student's grade.

Consider placing your child in one of my morning classes. I am much
better focused before 10:00 a.m. If your child is in an afternoon class,
do not be upset by the fact that one-half of our class time will be
"free-time" due to the fact that I can only focus for short periods of
time in the afternoon. Instead, consider this time as an opportunity for
your child -- a built in "study hall.."

Be prepared to teach the novel Lord of the Flies to your student at
home. Because I am frequently unable to reach this unit by the end of
the year, you may need to cover this required material yourself. I will
be happy to provide books and handouts.

Forgive me if I am late in arriving for parent conferences. I sometimes
lose track of time. If I forget to come at all, do not hesitate to
reschedule by contacting me (in the manner suggested above). When we
meet for parent conferences, please remember to: (a) Maintain proximity
to me (b) Establish eye contact (c) Be concise (d) Use an appropriate
rate of speech (e) Use visual aids (e.g., student papers, charts,
pictures, etc..)

Your effort to comply with these accommodations is greatly appreciated.
I know that together we will be able to create a rich and rewarding
learning experience for your child. If you have any questions or
comments, please feel free to contact me (in the manner suggested
above).

Again, many thanks.
Your Child's Teacher
