Why don't they learn to love learning in school

?
It's not the job of school to teach kids to love learning, it's great if they do but that's our job as parents.

A
good teacher will instill a love of learning for the students and make it fun to learn. I had great teachers when i was growing up, but i find a very different type of teacher who has taught my sons.
Not good at all....

It's easy to say it's a matter of family and native intelligence but Montessori proved a long time ago that all kids have the ability to learn and if it's done properly the kids will all act like geniuses and they'll actually turn their hovels into little heavens.

And you think the schools are responsible for this? You don' think that indifferent parents that shirk their responsibility to their kids, fail to teach their kids basic values, fail to give their kids guidance, ignore and shove their kids off on the school system so the parents can pursue their own selfish life styles do not hold any responsibility? parents who do nothing but feed (and not always that) their kids and send them to school, never participate in over seeing their schools or the curriculum of the schools do not deserve credit for the failure of the child to learn?

Parents obviously need to stay on top of the learning process, but the teachers better do their part. Our children are being influenced by them for several hours a day

You attend school board meetings, make sure their feet are held to the fire by someone other than a person who is more worried his little darling might hear about birth control than he is about real knowledge. You make sure your voice is heard, gather together like minded people, have meetings attend the PTA as a group make sure your voices are heard, for too often the only people doing this are not worried about anything bearing taught other than Sunday school. Make sure you let them know that you want reality taught, let the Churches teach about god, let the schools teach math, science, social studies, and language. If parents taught the basics of how to behave at home instead of sending their kids to school to learn to behave half the battle would be won

attending meetings does not equal change, but your voice can be heard

That is so wrong I cannot even understand how you got that idea, the PTA is powerful! And 3 or 4 years? I was involved with my children's schools from preK to grade 12, I volunteered, made sure the teacher knew i was interested, gave the teacher support in what ever way they needed. Chaperon class trips, read to the kids, spend the most valuable of all currency, your time

maybe your PTA was something great, but ours was always about fundraisers that never amounted to anything but BS

that comment was uncalled for
Being a parent of a child with a disability, i have had to face more challenges than most. I am totally disgusted with the lack of enthusiasm the teachers have in teaching my children. I have always done the majority of the teaching as it was obvious that my boys were deriving squat from school. Being an avid reader and studying and researching constantly, i have instilled that love of learning to them. I have pulled my youngest son out of the system as of last Thursday.
and just for the record i am teaching him evolution
