SAT scores lowest in four decades...wow...

I just learned that SAT scores are at the lowest point in four decades! Seriously??? What is going on in our society?? I blame it totally on over-use of technology and lack of parenting. Let's face it, parents don't spend enough one-on-one time with their kids. Do you know what your kids are doing in school? When is the last time you checked your highschooler's backpack, for something other than illegal substances? When was the last time you went on their teacher's websites, to see what is going on...and then GET involved?? Do you even know who their teachers are? Have you met them? Have you been inside each classroom your child spends hours in each day??? If you haven't, then shame on you. Get it together, your kid needs you. Put down your cell phone or ipad, and get your butt in gear. Just because they are in high school, doesn't mean they don't need you! Are you intimidated by the material they are learning? Fine, that's what tutoring sessions at school are for (and before/after school time with the teacher), so SET IT UP!! Quit making excuses, and get involved!
