It is my opinion that the Moscow schools are affraid of true reform. (I
do not mean reform through policing). In order for there to be change in
the Moscow schools more parents need to get involved with what goes on in
there childrens daily scholastic life. Currently and for decades passed
the majority of parents are not involved in anyway in helping to shape
how there children are taught. They simply send them off to school and
wait for the administration and teachers to spit out a child with the
basic skills of servival in the real world. --If they were to take a look
around they would see that this is not working--!
Before the Moscow schools can begin to reform in any way The Parents must
begin to speak out. The question then is how to get them to do so? If
this was successfull then perhaps we could begin to have qauilty
education for every INDIVIDUAL student.> >
