As many of you know I am on facebook and I have the pleasure of having a bunch of friends. One of those friends is a student in BA schools. Here is what she wrote, " some teachers need to learn to teach. including my MATH teacher. it doesn't help that I already suck at math".

It made my heart sink. How many kids do we have that enter our classrooms every day that really suck, excuse my French at what we are trying to teach them? LOTS!!!!!

If school was easy we wouldn't need it!! But school is hard for many students. I hope I challenge my teachers every day to look at their class and see which kids really struggle. And take those kiddos and bust there tails working at getting them to suck less....I don't want them to view kids who struggle as failures..I want them to view them as challenges that can be overcome.

We need the help of everyone..Parents, Teachers, Students, School Board, Volunteers, and Family members.

So my message to kids out there who struggle and don't get whatever it is that the teacher is teaching, to reach out and ask for help til they get it. We owe it to the kids in our district!!
