Poor School Districts
I am observing at Aliquippa Elementary School and it is a poor school district. When you walk into the school there are the students PSSA scores on the wall. It shows how many made the proficient level, above average, and below average. Walking in there is very disheartening because of the number of students that are listed at below average. I really believe that this goes to show you that it is not fair to shut schools down because they not meeting the standards. It’s not that Aliquippa is not trying, it’s just that the most of the students and the parents do not care. The teachers that are there are very good teachers. All of them say that the parents are not very supportive. This is a huge problem. Another problem is that the Aliquippa School does not have enough money to support the needs of the school. So my question to you is "How do we help the poor school districts meet the standards if they do not have support from parents and do not have enough money?"
