All of its branches (schools) should have all of the components in place to ensure each child has an equal opportunity to learn, which includes the environment within the school.<br /><br />It is ultimately the parent's responsibility to ensure their child is prepared to come to school with manners, respect and the desire to learn to better themselves in life, regardless of their socio-economic status.<br /><br />The sad fact is, CMS spends entirely too much placating that scenario and many parents really don't give a damn about what goes on with their child in school.<br /><br />You can have all the magnets and chartrs and choices you want, but at the end of the day, the child either learns what the answer to 2+2 is or they don't.<br /><br />No amount of choice is going to fix what's wrong with public education until we eliminate the excuses and hold parents and students accountable - and mean it.Wiley Coyotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16966764080565903720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-30209092997080634162011-11-30T09:41:53.987-05:002011-11-30T09:41:53.987-05:00Bolyn, enough of the bandstanding for the board yo...Bolyn, enough of the bandstanding for the board you covet. Timmy Morgan is going to make sure you get the 6 seat so enough with the self promotion. Tell the residents of Madison Park about neighborhood schools and how well CMS does it. They bus them 10 miles (today) to the west side for high school. All the while Myers Park and South Meck are within 1.5 miles of their homes !

Busing and choice are counterproductive to good societies.<br /><br />This is why good neighborhood schools are the soundest way to rebuild CMS and reestablish that everywhere in Mecklenburg is a good place to live. <br /><br />The School Board was correct in returning to system of Home Schools regulated by proximity. <br /><br />http://www.brookings.edu/reports/2011/1130_education_choice_whitehurst.aspx<br /><br />Bolyn McClung<br />PinevilleBolynMcClunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02938579006144446381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-29734315670232130802011-11-30T06:38:25.764-05:002011-11-30T06:38:25.764-05:00Bad parenting cannot be fixed by a charter school....Bad parenting cannot be fixed by a charter school.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
