[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a huge lack of accountability right now in all aspects of education.

Any difference by race in school metrics can get schools in trouble.  Graduation rate has become the number one way to judge schools systems, so some kids are used to getting promoted for little effort.   The entire role of a teacher in content/skill transmission had been devalued.

[b]Societal expectations have changed and parents have taught poor behaviors to their kids and aren't as interested in the academic success of their kids and peers in school[/b].  Even the best parents are struggling to support their kids due to cost of living and job access.

Political leaders dont care because the upper middle class and wealthy want to keep the status quo and isolate their kids from more struggling communities and schools.[/quote]

Sorry but this has always happened! Some parents have always not cared about school. It's just that those kids used to drop out, get expelled or were sent to schools for difficult students. Now we keep kids who don't want to learn in the classroom with everyone (and sometimes this takes up nearly all of the teacher's time). My grandma even had a story of the kids who lived down the street from her in the 20s. Their parents were abusive alcoholics who didn't want their kids in school and wanted them to drop out and work.
