I Can Smell the Entitlement From Here
That's totally the school's fault.
From here.
Note to parents: Your child and/or teen “hanging around the wrong people and making bad choices” is not entirely a reflection on where he or she goes to school. And if you had read the article, you might understand that part of the reason for keeping certain numbers of free and reduced school lunch-eligible students at schools is to maintain eligibility for federal funding, otherwise known as a good deal of the money that made that “great elementary school” possible.
Living in the “right” school’s zone does nothing in and of itself; there’s no magic school that can make your child successful.
And there’s no “right side of the line” because there are no public schools in Brevard County where a student with dedicated parents or adult figures, a little bit of gumption, and a bit of extra work cannot get an excellent K-12 education. I have friends who have been there and I’ve been there myself. It just doesn’t happen that students fall into black holes of education in Brevard County, because there is enough good done by the district to keep good teachers around and good facilities in place for students to do well.
The tools are there for you, noleygirly. If you really feel strongly about this, instead of commenting on a website, go to the school board meeting and voice your opinion. If not, please read this with your child and consider the content.
Any November a school board seat is on the ballot, bigjohn1. That’s when.
