In Reply to: Teachers........sm - MsMT

A parent once asked my SIL when she was going to teach him to behave. I totally agree with "It takes a
Village". Unfortunately in my SIL 1st grade class, at least half the children have one if not both parents in jail. BTW, To Hayseed, both my children are straight A students, and I thank the teachers for that.

        My kids are smart. sm - trose
        I am not criticizing an individual here... - Hayseed
        Look at the individual school systems - and you may see a pattern
        Aside from a learning disability, if they don't - come out SMART, then look at parents.....not teach
        You can't force someone to learn so that they leave the system - "smart." nm
        I should clarify......... - sm
        The smart I was referring to was in regard to - Hayseed's post above.
