[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you so much for these replies. There is a mom's group called JFG--Just F*&ing Graduate. I am a founding member. 
I liked school, but after Algebra I, we could drop math (I was in the DC school system), and now they're adding on meaningless math requirements instead of coding or practical math skills. The math classes my daughter has taken, from middle school on, have been poorly taught.  (Huge exceptions for the covid years, of course). My high school started at 9 and ended at 3. No longer true, and my DD is exhausted at the early AM start time. 
She participates in an internship program, assisting teachers of young students with special needs. I notice that on internship days, there are fewer complaints of "my head hurts" "I don't feel well" and "my stomach hurts" (that last one was COVID)...

I'm at a loss, but my high school years were different. I remember individual counseling for college or after-school plans, and some emotional group discussions ("Emotional Health" or something) that everyone made fun of but which many of us attended. And I had great English teachers! My love of reading got me through...To end on an up note, some kids were outside the supermarket raising money for their robotics team. Nice kids, impressive robot. Respect. [/quote]
