re: Schools and teachers are a Joke

I agree and will add that sometimes that desire starts with the parents pushing and emphasizing the importance of learning and making good grades.

I was lucky enough to have a MIL who was a teacher and retired when my kids were born. She picked them up everyday after school and spent 2-3 hours per day after school teaching them to study and making sure all homework was done. They got in the routine of doing homework as soon as they got home. Now they are in the 7th and 9th grades and are straight A students and I never had to lift a pinky.
