There is a crisis in U. S. schools.

Are you seeing these trends in your neighborhood schools? At home?

Do you know families experiencing these problems?

Can anything be done?

[Anonymous]

Absolutely. Who hasn't seen this increase? Schools also put up with a lot more student behavior than they used to and it's to the other student and teacher's detriment.

Some schools are doing better than others.

Read the r/teachers subreddit. It’s depressing.

We need zero tolerance now.

[Anonymous]

We need parents to parent.

Get rid of restorative justice for all but the most minor issues. If parents won’t teach children consequences, then schools must. Children should not be shown that action have zero consequences!

Also, make elementary school enjoyable again. It should not be all about prepping for the test and pushing forward!

Consequences are an aspect of white supremacy.

And right here is why we have huge disciplinary issues.

My kid will be done in 2 years with K-12. Thank God.

Education used to be the great equalizer. However, this is all part of the GOP plan to dismantle the Dept of Education and funnel federal education dollars to private, Christian schools. Covid accelerated their plan.

Until we value teachers and pay them more, we will not get out of this hole.

Yes, it’s a huge crisis. Parents treat kids like equals now, which means they have no respect for teachers and rules. Teachers are burnt out so they aren’t bringing empathy to the classroom, which many kids truly need. The public school system demands a lot and there is little room for fun and creativity, which is why many kids are burnt out and act out. We are in a terrible terrible cycle right now.

PP. I don't agree with this statement I made. I'm just repeating an insane talking point made by progressives that is the heart of the US education system's sharp decline.
