I See the Education System Leaving People Behind

Especially in rural America. In my community only 1 in 4 graduate hs and our of them only 1 in 10 will get any kind of college degree or training. Because of that a lot of our local education is subpar. My dad went straight from hs to college he had to retake the Spanish he should have got in hs and remedial math

My local school system is "trying" but it's not the curriculum that's corrupt it's the pupils in attendance that need to take their free education seriously.
My son was in hs and complained daily of the torment that the teachers endured on an hourly basis from students. Teachers can't do their jobs to teach kids the lessons so that they can pass classes/exams, take & score well in PSATs & SATs. Teachers are not there to babysit!
My son immediately went to college & is scoring A's & B's in his courses, taking a full load and working. He's in an environment where pupils want to learn, that's the difference.

If they brought real discipline back into schools would help too. My private school had less of those issues and higher test scores because kids didn't get his slap in the wrist when in trouble

it would be a service to kids if they inducted swats My brother endured his share and so did my friends.
Now days I am so disgusted at how teachers are disrespected by both student & parents. It's unreal.

But back to the school education system. In Northern California the test scored from district to district had dropped so low that the state had to take over school curriculum. They dumbed down the studies so kids would pass to the next grade... horrible.
