Ruining another generation I see.

It's been all down hill since no child left with a mind came into law.

Nice assault pencil.

There's something horribly wrong with schools, teachers, parents and society in the US. It's a matter of time before total breakdown.

Teachers are that bad in public schools these days.

Are there any decent teachers left in public schools at all?
Sad when you have to send the kids to parochial school, Jewish day school or private school just to receive a decent education.

And who can afford any of those good schools? Not the avg. person that's 4 sure.

This false reality narrative is going to come down soon, it's not sustainable to teach people things that defy all common sense and logic.

All will be revealed soon, have faith.

Our Grand Daughter is attending Pre-K for 4 year olds, primarily for two reasons: Her single mom works, and by attending a Parochial school she didn't fall under the "recommendation of the State school board that the birth date cutoff be honored. She missed the date by one day. Following the state's rules, she would have been 6 years old in her first month of Kindergarten.
I also think the quality of the education offered is higher for the area.
