[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not sure what dystopian work PP lives in but this is not the case in at least 60% of the population.

I wanted to go into teaching as a second career. It was not the pay that kept me away but behavior.

Parents need to do better.[/quote]

It’s literally across most districts except for maybe the wealthiest. The parents are drug users, absentee, don’t have stable housing, the kids are living with this or that relative, older kids are needed for child care or working. Read the article in the NYT today about the increase in absenteeism. In richer areas parents take kids out of school for travel sports or just for vacation, or to visit their home countries for a month. And older students report that the quality of teaching is poor and everything is posted online so they don’t want to sit in class all day with the disruptive kids so they can watch YouTube videos and do poor quality worksheets.

Schools should ban phones but other than that, not sure what you want parents to do. 🤷‍♀️[/quote]
