It's a shame. Because when the school and the home are working together, students can and most likely flourish. Here's a story:
When all schools went to remote last year, I had to have a Quarter 3 Report Card Conference with a parent. During this conference, unfortunately, I had to let her know that her child had been failing two different class during the year and that her promotion to the 7th grade was in danger, and that was BEFORE the Rona happened. Of course the parent was concerned and angry; angry at us, angry at her kid.
However, the parent and I sat down and came up with a strategy on how to get this girl to pass onto 7th grade. As she (the mom) would now be at home, she would ensure that her student would read EVERY assignment given to her in Quarter 4. I, in turn, would make sure that if the student has any issues or questions with the work, especially for any non-Math class I would let that teacher know, and they could resolve that with the student and the parent. Sure enough, moms called me nearly EVERY DAY to check on her kid's progress, which was amazing in Q4.
Not only did the student pass all her classes, she actually earned Honor Roll for the 4th quarter, and pushed her final grades up to a high C level and be promoted to 7th grade with no question. Moms was super greatful, and it was one of my proudest moments as a teacher, the amount of progress that was made in such a short time under such stressful circumstances.
So, when a school AND a household are working in sync, there's really no reason for any kid to struggle fundamentally.
