The truth is, it falls to both the parents AND the educators to get the job done for our kids. It's not an either or. Yes, there are parents who drop the ball, but I also know lots dedicated parents that did their job only to send their kids to school and not have the teacher do theirs. So parents, if your child's teacher isn't doing their job, scream away. And teacher's, if one of your student's parents haven't done theirs, have a conference with the parent, but don't let it be the child that suffers.
