- @POWERORGmath Which tells us that schools aren't doing a good job of explaining that value. in reply to POWERORGmath #
- @POWERORGmath But I would say truancy is far more complicated than just that. It's the sum of years of academic neglect. in reply to POWERORGmath #
- @POWERORGmath Students realize when they aren't achieving at the same level as other students or they are academically failing. in reply to POWERORGmath #
- @POWERORGmath Which is why social promotion is patronizing and dangerous academically. Teachers and schools don't work on getting the kid in reply to POWERORGmath #
- @POWERORGmath up to speed. They merely pass the kid along, move on to committing further academic neglect, malpractice. in reply to POWERORGmath #
- @POWERORGmath Truant students are merely reacting as kids will do. Children aren't little adults; they are developing minds that don't in reply to POWERORGmath #
- @POWERORGmath realize the consequences of decisions or where the fault for things lies with them versus with others. That's why adults exist in reply to POWERORGmath #
- @POWERORGmath As adults, we have to step into the shoes of kids whenever we declare why they do things. We sometimes move so far away in reply to POWERORGmath #
- @POWERORGmath from childhood that we forget what we once were like as youth. We forget kids are exactly that: Kids. They aren't going in reply to POWERORGmath #

- @POWERORGmath This is why the adults, especially the adults in classrooms and schools, must do better. in reply to POWERORGmath #
- @POWERORGmath This is true. But I do remind people that many of these kids also have parents who also went to dropout factories in reply to POWERORGmath #
- @POWERORGmath Doesn't mean that the parents shouldn't do better. What it does mean is that they aren't equipped to do better. in reply to POWERORGmath #
- @POWERORGmath A single mother who is a dropout isn't going to be able to help her kid with math work, no matter how much she tries. in reply to POWERORGmath #
- @POWERORGmath And we don't educate parents or the community about what high quality education looks like, what a growth model for a 3rd in reply to POWERORGmath #
- @POWERORGmath grader should be; what a kid should know by senior year of high school. We don't provide that information in reply to POWERORGmath #

- @POWERORGmath These parents are the best we got. They will do the very best they can — but can't do more if they aren't given info, power in reply to POWERORGmath #
- @POWERORGmath And, to paraphrase Howard Fuller, these are the only kids these parents have. #edreform in reply to POWERORGmath #
- RT @POWERORGmath: @dropoutnation She can help if she feel embraced, empowered w/resources. But, we judge vs embracing– as a norm. #edreform #
- @POWERORGmath Far too many in education complain about parents being uninvolved or parents being too involved. Which is telling #edreform in reply to POWERORGmath #
- @POWERORGmath The question becomes: "What do you really want?" The unspoken answers are terrifying, for both kids and our nation. #edreform in reply to POWERORGmath #
- RT @POWERORGmath: @dropoutnation Amen. Unfortunately, many of the "quality education" examples are highlighting broken systems. #edreform #
