The students and parents should be aware they they are the ones who should be responsible for homework after they leave the classroom. The teachers teach, babysits kids and then are held responsible if “poor little Johnnie” is failed. The teachers in all counties do a great job, only to be told they may not be good enough. Shame on you Gov. Scott.

the only thing that will encourage teachers to perform better will be to give them autonomy and the freedom to do what they love…teach. now they are forced to spend way too much time on standardized test preparation and there is little time and energy to give to reading writing and ‘rithmetic. it doesn’t look like “No Child Left Behind” is going away, so parents do what you can to educate your children before and after school. the only thing they are going to be taught is how to take tests.
