    And reasaon number 10,001 why I moved to Santa Rosa county. For my children’s sake is just one of the many reasons!

    I agree thought that it takes parents to be the first line to make students and a school succeed. If the parents to not care and the children are worried about home life, then it’s hard to focus and succeed in school! And too many parents expect the school to raise and provide for their children these days.

    CONGRATULATIONS MOLINO!! You have some great teachers there who take their jobs seriously and work to help each child do their very best. Even in Molino there are parents who just DON’T want to be bothered with helping their children. It’ll come home to them someday maybe, or they’re just sorry parents who don’t care anyway.

    REGARDING:
    “There is no governmental fix for this issue. Until PARENTS invest in their children’s future, their future is lost. ”

    So basically, this tells us which schools have parents who care about their children’s futures. (Others may care, but not enough to shoulder the responsibility.)

    David for better parents

    It’s not just the parents or kids not caring, some teachers don’t care.

    No, the problem doesn’t lie with the teachers. There is no governmental fix for this issue. Until PARENTS invest in their children’s future, their future is lost. Go to the school, call, email the teachers, ask what you can do to help your child….you have 18 years. Of course that entails growing up yourself.

    Has all the illectual ones fron the State and Federal government connected the dots yet, as to why certain scools perform at a failing grade. They certainly get those high salaries to do that. Alll they have come up with in the past is it must be the teacher’s falt. Jerry Clower said some truth many years ago, “Johnny (I know that is sexist) doesn’t read because Johnny doesn’t want to read.”

    It is so true today especially with so many distractions and lack of guidance, along with State and Federal regulations.
