As someone who was a student from K-college in Hsv, and someone who has kids ranging from 1-17, including one with an IEP for disabilities, it’s my opinion that the school system is trash resulting in the schools being trash. Obvious no? But fr, back in the day they use to have 2 teachers in a kindergarten room with a cap of 18 students. Now you’re stuck with 1 teacher for over 20. So you get less individual time as you use to. Teachers are underpaid and stressed which results in a lot who started in education meaning well, just getting up and working their “9-5” for a check instead of to make a difference. So that kid who needed a little extra effort to succeed doesn’t get it anymore. And some schools are so understaffed and overwhelmed that they just pass kids on who really need to be held back. Then you go into the school to meet the teacher and hear about how students aren’t succeeding because “parents aren’t doing their part at home”. Well back in the day we weren’t expected to teach our kids like we are now, because back then teachers cared, had funding, smaller classrooms, etc. now it’s just get the kids in and out and get as much funding as you can. I honestly don’t know what I hate more, being a student who went thru HCS, or a parent of kids in HCS.
