Part Of The System: Infoworks

I recently took a look at Infoworks again to find that my school is below proficient in both Math and Reading. I was also shocked to see that although the school is majority Black and Hispanic their is no ESL education services. It makes me upset to see that these students are not receiving such services and to me seems to be an explanation of as to why such insufficient progress is being made within the school.


Additionally the students in the school seem to all be between middle to lower-middle class.

I also looked at the involvement with parents within the school community since I was greatly upset to hear that the teacher within my classroom said parents are not involved. Infoworks sadly, reveals that to be true.



As one can see parent involvement has dropped since 2005. What is even more surprising is as suggested in one of my earlier posts is that parents want to be involved. Info works reveals this information as well.



I think the underlying problem is that parents think they are saying that they are more involved or active in their child's life than they are or may wish to admit. With most parents working, school and time are restricted on behalf of the education.

And finally, What teachers say:



Hence, I will say it again, if parents were to be more active in the education of there students then perhaps some of the issues facing these students could be resolved.
