Nice and factual article that all boils down too. 1. The MPS curriculum continue to 1776 US history, we are in the 21 century.
2. The MPS staff is not being appreciated, supported, and paid accordingly for the time and labor that they do on a day to day basis. 3. It’s all about numbers that will continue to leave the disadvantage disadvantage. The objective is not to make sure the student are educated enough to start a business of their own. The objective is to make sure the becomes citizen of working for any company. Basically to become an employee for ever. I could continue but why the change has to come once the truth is recognized. That you can not live the so called AMERICAN dream on being a disadvantage employee for ever. This just means that those that are advantages will always have the advantages at reach.
The problem is not more school days. The problem is parent accountability. Students who are failing typically have parents who don’t attend parent teacher conferences, don’t work with their children at home and sometimes have poor attendance. Teachers are already killing themselves to help the children in their classrooms. But they fight poor attendance, behaviors and extremely large class sizes (40+ In many cases). If you want to get results, start mimicking the successful school districts. Decrease class sizes, fully fund education like it is done I. Wealthier surrounding districts and require certain levels of parent participation in their child’s education. Added school days won’t work because MPS buildings are well over 100 years old with no air conditioning and the rooms get up over 90 degrees in the heat. You’ll be wasting your time and money because parents won’t send their kids to school on those days which will further spread the achievement gap. Let’s not forget to ask the question..”How well can you focus on learning material in a room pushing 100 degrees?”
