To the "experienced teacher" from Middle Township on CMC low test scores being the fault of Republicans and Republican parents' attitude on education. Your spout is offensive and arrogant. Sounds like you are using politics to excuse your lack of success in the classroom. As a parent (R), my politics have nothing to do with my attitude toward my child's education. I expect them to apply 100% in school and all they do. And how do you know the parents affiliation? If you're asking, shame on you. Assuming? Well. Maybe all the experience you claim to have could be put to better use, sans politics.
