we need parents to put more pressure on their kids. If you create an educational expectation in the children, when they get to school, trust me they will move their teachers to the next level. They will have an expectation to learn and will be willing to point out learning distractions. Keeps the teachers from slacking off. Trust me it works.

i do think more money would help these schools but we need parents to start puttin PRESSURE on these teachers to do the jobs they are paid to do. these teachers are gettin a free pass because parents wont attend conferences or check up on they children. why should a teacher care about your kids education if you dont????

Mr. Wayne Hodges,
Good Afternoon! What a refreshing and fantastic Article. It was very enlightening!!! I only have 30 minutes of a lunch break and that article was well worth it. Your e-mail is on-time and REAL! I could feel it!!!!! I strongly felt someone is observing and talking about the “happenings” of Wyandotte County. Now.. I am wondering with tax payers paying to vehicle tags- What is the update of the person taking the money tax payers are paying for vehicle tags- WHO IS IT? and what is being done! People are being stopped and viewing information of their tags, only to find out- they did pay for tagas BUT not registered into the system. How about that???
And by the way, I see your credentials, I have my Master @ K-State U and Teaching Job Readiness and Employment SKills- always seeking opportunities as a Trainer of you know of any Reliable companies. I had to throw that out there!
Thank you for a great article and Have a Wonderful remaining Day!!!

GREAT ARTICLE!!! If there is money available to build stores then there should be plenty of cash to improve schools. Time 4 people to get their priorities straight.

I must agree with E. Davis. I would be shocked if the UG got involved. The idea is noble but far-fetched. Mrs. Davis talked about the need for parents to get involved. And I agree 100%. The public school system will not improve until parents are held accountable for their children’s failures. We are quick to blame the school board and administrators while the parents get a free pass.

I do agree that more emphasis should be placed on improving the school district. But I dont think we should leave it up to the Unified Govt. I think we need to get more parents involved in the education of their children. It would be nice to see the Unified Govt pitch in, but I would not hold my breath.
