Don't
blame teachers for parents' failures
I feel
sorry for Daniella Martinez, who could not read at the third-grade level
("Teacher rights getting needed court scrutiny," Page 18A, Jan. 26).
However, I am disappointed that she blamed her illiteracy on her teacher. If
her parents were concerned about her achievement, they would have noticed her
failure in the first grade and contacted her teacher to learn about their
child's failure and how to help her. The Alum Rock School District has Student
Success Teams to help student achievement. The district's policy requires
teachers to attend parent-teacher conferences at least three times per school
year. Many parents have ignored notices about these conferences. Without the
parents' help, the school cannot perform its duties.
