When I saw this, I just shook my head. Every day I go to the school I work at and see bright, wonderful children that work hard for their teachers who in turn are bright, wonderful people that work hard to teach the students. This is my 2nd year working in this elementary. In this district, there are 4 elementary schools. The school that I work in, from the public opinion that I have heard, is not the best school in the county. The best school in the county is across town. Now I also worked in that elementary school for 4 years. I know the teachers there and many students. The teachers work hard, the students work hard, but there is not any difference in how much work is being done from either school. I know that parents do send their children to other school because it is considered a “better” school and quite frankly, it is bursting at the seams making class sizes increase. It has even brought debate over whether the district should re-examine districting for the 4 schools. This is what I think. Parents want the best education for the students. If every teacher, every principal, every school board member, every superintendent, and every parent is for this concept, then it shouldn’t matter what school the child is supposed to attend because that school is giving the best education available and that child will be successful. It takes the village to raise a child, so why doesn’t the village also help educate the child and quit trying to blame who hasn’t done their part when apparently it is everyone equally responsible.
