As the husband of a publc school teacher and father of a magnet student, I am disgusted at our unwillingness to correctly identify the public school system problem. That problem is societal and deeply embeded in the minds of some. The problem is shielded under the flag of racism, that protects it from ever being indentified and properly discussed. My child thrives in the magnet program as do his school mates of all ethnic backgrounds with the HELP of there teachers.
My wife is dedicated to the public system and goes way beyond her responsibilities as an educator. She does this simply because being an educator is her passion, and she truly believes she can make a difference. While her intelligence, energy and drive would be much better suited on a administative level, she feels she is needed in the classroom. She recognizes the ineffectiveness of the school board, and Placide administration but continues to educate for our children. That is dedication!
When PARENTS decide to teach thier children values and respect for others and instill in them the belief that they can better themselves through effort and determination. When PARENTS decide to stop depending on the government for a handout and then blameing that same hand for thier situation. When PARENTS decide to teach children that an education is the way to success and force a change in AATTITUDE. When this occours we will see a public school system that is quality.
