If you were you could actually get what was trying to be said.

You are the exception to the many children who have no parental involvement at all. Remember that before you start speaking about teachers not being important.

Prove you're a good parent and I'll let you keep your kid.

It is so easy for people who do not know what educators go through to spout off ignorance. I would like to see many of these people walk a day in a teachers shoes and THEN hear what they have to say.

It is that elitist attitude that produces the children we are ashamed of.

Maybe to parents who spend less than 4 hours a day ACTUALLY interacting with their children. It is actually educators that spend over 8 hours a day with these kids. But lets blame them for wanting some sort of compensation for helping raise our future leaders, doctors, teachers, etc. It never fails that Republicans are quick to place blame on something they do not agree with.
