Our children are in trouble, most of them hate school and are not learning.

 THIS IS THE TIME WHILE YOU ARE AT HOME TO SEE WHAT THEY KNOW AND WHY THEY ARE NOT LEARNING AT SCHOOL? OUR CHILDREN ARE NOT LEARNING AS THEY SHOULD THEY ARE FAR BEHIND MOST STUDENTS THEIR AGE ALL OVER THE WORLD. THEY ARE SMART AND VERY CAPABLE BUT NOT WILLING OR MOTIVATED TO DO SO. I HAD A FRIEND THAT HAD 4 CHILDREN SHE LIVED IN RICHMOND AND THEY ALL WERE FAILING. SO SHE THOUGH THEY WERE NOT SMART ENOUGH. THEN SHE MARRIED A MAN FROM ATLANTA AND MOVED THERE. WITHIN A YEAR ALL OF HER CHILDREN WHERE HONOR ROLL STUDENTS. THE SCHOOL SYSTEM DIDN'T ALLOW THEM TO FAIL AND THEY LEARN TO RESPECT THEIR EDUCATION AND APPLY THEMSELVES. THEY FINISHED SCHOOL AND GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE THEY ARE DOING GREAT AS ADULTS, NOW. I HAVE BEEN TEACHING FOR 40 PLUS YEARS AND CALIFORNIA'S EDUCATION SYSTEM IS VERY BAD EVERYWHERE. ESPECIALLY RIGHT NOW, WE ARE HIRING TEACHERS THAT FINISH COLLGE AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO SO THEY PASS THE CBEST AND START TEACHING. SO WE HAVE TO MANY UNTRAINED TEACHER, THAT HATE TO TEACH.

 In order to teach you must love it and want to do so. The pay is very low and the students are very hard to work with. They are not encouraged to learn but to get through the day. It is a very hard job especially if you love to teach. We must change this whole system and make real change or our children will not be successful. Please work with your children and talk to them about their school experience
