What’s the biggest challenge facing schools?

The Professional Association of Georgia Educators held its summer conference over the weekend. This year’s theme involved making sure all students succeed at a time when classrooms are becoming more diverse.

Some educators say that is the biggest challenge they face today. Others point to growing enrollments and shrinking budgets. We can add many other things to the list: hiring high-quality teachers; improving parent involvement; and making sure kids come to school ready to learn.

What do you think is the biggest challenge schools face? How should schools, parents, teachers and other go about meeting this challenge?

NOTE: Official CRCT results for all districts and public schools are here. The results differ little from the preliminary results we’ve had on ajc.com for about a week, but check out how othere schools in the state did.
