Stop focusing on CRCT preparation and teach our children. My child has been struggling for 2 years, how he was promoted is beyond me. I wish you had a Ms Black and Mr Ames in every classroom. When I was growing up teachers who cared about our education took the time to send extra work home to help the children catch up.
