Message: [QUOTE="TampaLaker, post: 5466046, member: 491"] I think this is a two-sided problem. Yes, schools are not doing a great job. Many are more interested in social change than teaching basic skills. However, blaming teachers and schools does not look at other problems. The complete collapse of the home is a major problem. Teachers everywhere will point back to the lack of support from the home. Often, parents are not holding their kids responsible to do their work. So, the kids don't do their work. And often in homes the one parent there is so overwhelmed that she (usually) is unable to keep up the kid's school responsibilities. Maybe as much as anything this where we should be glad for Fran's outspoken emphasis on his players learning to be DART in all areas of life. Learning as men to take responsibility for their role in the home is one of the greatest needs in our country. [/QUOTE]
