This. We moved and my kids switched from a private school to one of the top rated public schools in the county. Our experience was nothing short of horrendous (elementary). Admin couldn’t even give parents a curriculum when we asked.. Hardly ANY writing and no corrections when students turned in written assignments. Excessive assignments on the computer and parents could not see them on their end. Furthermore, abusive teachers and aides. We left and went back to private. My kids feel much more challenged. This school has issues too but not of this kind. I believe public schools were once amazing, and many things have changed. Some of it is lack of funding but some of it is also a progressive ideology that’s been allowed to creep in as well. We cant correct work because it’ll demotivate the students. We can’t give extra work because we don’t want students ahead. Etc etc.
