does the whole idea of making education for the slowest learning children not work out? I love that they wont leave a child behind, but slowing the learning for them isnt the answer, its more one on one learning with a teacher. Smaller class sizes, more parent involvement (like each parent can take a week off to help in classroom with pay).

I work at an elementary school. Having attended School Boards and several inservice lectures I have come to the conclusion that Parents need to back off the school and let them do their job. The amount of people that try to dictate what their child can and cannot consume is a big reason they fall for misinformation when they are older.

ohh I am not about them interrupting class, I mean they are there to help understand how to teach their child. Plus it would give some oversight that the kids would have to deal with where they cant get away with all the shit they do as there is a second adult in class to witness. Just being active and making part of parenting teaching them again. Most schools (this seems to be in big urban areas) seem to not even issue homework as the child is left on their own to do it and they cant get any help, we need the adults to understand how to figure things out so they can teach too.

As to the idea that the parents would be there to discuss their thoughts on the teaching they would have a better understanding what is really being taught not what facebook is telling them, or even their kid who is just using their parent to get what they want. Better informed and educated adults would help and getting them back in schools for understanding of how to teach could help. Better than what they are doing now which seems to be let the church handle it, and cut all public funding.
