Question of the Day

Tell us how you feel about the notion of punishing parents if their children are failing in school. Which of the proposals described in the article, if any, seem sensible to you? That is, should parents be graded, as has been proposed in Florida; forced to do school volunteer work, as has been proposed in Indiana; fined if children are truant, as is currently done in Alaska; or forced to attend parenting classes if the child is in a gang, as is currently done in California? What complications might judging parents in any of these ways raise?

Teachers shouldn't get blamed for the failing of students. Many teachers try their best to not fail their students but the students leave them no choice. The teachers even try giving extra credit but some of the students don't even bother to do them. I believe if a student fail their class it's not the parents neither the teachers fault; it's the students fault. Parents shouldn't be blamed for anything because their not the one that's doing the work in school the students are. Many parents tell their children to do their homework everyday but some of them do them and some don't.
If the student put it in their mind set to pass that class then he or she will pass that class. However if they just do whatever they want then it's their fault. Many teachers think that it's the parents fault but it really isn't because the parents do all they can to make their children pass. No parent like it when their children fail a class. Even if they don't say anything about them failing they not happy neither.
As for me if I didn't put it on my mind set to pass all my class I wouldn't be having honor roll right now. I believe that anyone can pass their classes but you have to be dedicated. Many students give up when they don't know how to do something. What they need to do is when they don't know how to do something they should try try again and try to go to tutoring.

They should know that bullying can lead to many things including suicide. If I saw someone being made fun of online I wouldn't take it very nicely, I probably would talk to that person.
