[QUOTE="Lammie, post: 502047, member: 3306"] Yes, Cuz, I look for my son's report cards. You can access that stuff online these days, as well, so there really isn't an excuse for not knowing. I let my son's teachers know at the beginning of the year that I desire communication with them, and that if my kid isn't doing well, I want to know about it. If you wait till the report card comes out, it will be too late. RAB, I think that the TAKS is way over emphasized as well. We teach for that test because the rating a school gets based on scores is extremely important. We are a poor performing school, therefore, the TAKS has been emphasized all the more. At my son's school, when he was little, art and recess were eliminated in favor of TAKS study. And we wonder why kids are fat... Starting today, there will be a flury of activity to get those grades changed. I can't wait. And the teachers who have taught these kids? Well, they are reviled by other teachers, coaches and kids alike because they won't pass all their students. It is just so disappointing. I don't think I can return to it next year. I really like my kids, but I don't want to be a part of this. And I have seen this repeatedly. Good teacher leave because they are disgusted and dismayed. And because the skills they have translate into bigger bucks in the "real world". All I know that this summer, I will have some soul searching to do. [/QUOTE]
