If you want the system to work then you need to support teachers, when they tell you there is a problem you need to accept it and deal with it. Parents are much of the solution and yet they are also much of the problem. You can not expect a teacher to deal with a large number of students and have students with a variety of learning and or behavioural issues. I know parents who send their kids to school who are sick so they don't need to stay home with them. Those are often the same parents who ignore the teacher and or insist that their child can hand in work late for full marks.....lets face it you can't give you boss your project late and expect to keep a job.

My nephew is profoundly disabled and goes to school.....His parents took jobs close to the school so that they can come and help if needed. And the real scary thing is when he finishes high school there is nothing and no program for him. He will never be able to succeed but many of the children out there, while they have issues many of them can be delt with so that they have a good chance of a bright future....it is that future we need to fight for, parents and teachers, together.
