[quote=Anonymous]Why do they hate it? Some teachers are bullies. Some teachers are racist or sexist. The material moves much too slowly. There is a lot of unnecessary busy work. Some teachers don’t know or understand the material, and in worst case scenarios lash out at kids who ask questions or point out errors. Useful feedback on work is rare, so it seems pointless to do the work. Grades often feel subjective.  The nature of HS forces kids to take a lot of classes that they have zero interest in.  By MS and HS, many kids do not have the foundation in math or reading or writing (because the school doesn’t provide adequate instruction) to do the higher level work so they just end up feeling dumb and/or attacked all day.

Would you like to go to work every day in an environment like the one described above?  Maybe you would say, suck it up, I do”. But, adults are getting paid. Kids don’t get paid.

BTW, before you flame. I am a parent and a tutor. Each statement above could be supported by personal experiences.
