I wonder if parents are aware that Pia's new push is to leave behind the "low" students and "top" students to focus on the "middlers". She figures you can get more bang for your buck with the middlers on their test scores. We are being expected to keep the middlers for tutoring instead of the low. I guess the low are too low and just leave them behind. This includes our sped population. The high are good but will not make that 40% increase that she is looking to hit. So let's not concentrate on getting them higher. No, just the middlers. We need to get the 40% and they are our only hope. Sorry to the parents of the low and high students. We really can't focus on them as much as we should. However, my goal as a teacher is to show growth with all my students!

Bravo!
Parents aren't aware of much that's happening in the school dept. They can't even call the superintendents office with a concern. I had a parent call and was told by the superintendent's secretary that they don't take messages for Dr. Durkin. The parent was told she had to put her complaint on "Your Voice" and that they print it daily for the super to read. Nice. Not every parent even has a computer!
