[quote=Anonymous]Our kids have been in the system for a decade now, so we've had time to see some changes. For starters, grade school class sizes have increased from 18-20 to 26-30. The focus on AAP has also created a situation where elementary students get the scraps, which makes too many parents frantic to get their kids into AAP. It's a weird brew. As an older parent, I also notice a decline in teacher quality with the changing of the generations as Boomers and Gen Xers retire from teaching and the Millennials step in to replace them. There is less focus on instilling good manners and a strong sense of consistency. The curriculum can feel like it's all over the place at times. (Not all younger teachers are like this, but more than there should be.) Our grade school's ranking has fallen 3-4 points over the last five years as the older generation of teachers has retired. I am convinced it has something to do in part with the generational teacher change. [/quote]
