Those kids get into great things despite the public school system, not because of it.
But we do!

Yes I know, I was just being facetious
If you've never worked as a teacher, then you don't know a damn thing about it.
Teachers are powerless to do anything. They have to tiptoe around everything. Most of a teacher's time is spent on discipline, not teaching.
Yes, there are thousands of kids who go to college and what not, but there are also school districts that don't have the burden of dealing with poverty and the apathy of the majority of communities.
Yes, thousands of students graduate and go to college, but the freshman drop out rates in universities is very high. They are completely unprepared for college because the public education system has not done a thing to prepare them for college, if the student was not put on an AP plan that is.
Why do you think community colleges (like SAC, Northwest Vista, Palo Alto, etc.) are making a killing? These kids can't make it to a university because they lack the basic skills to be a college student.
This is the fault of THE PUBLIC EDUCATION SYSTEM.
You can't blame anyone esle for this.
what's a nasty gram?
It appears that you need the same letter sent to you.
These kind of emails.
You have to blame parents as well. If my kids act up in school, they pay..........trust me. Some parents dont give two s. So its not only the education system.
Parents are definitely a factor in all this.
But, the school system's refusal to enforce discipline as it had been in the past is the main culprit. If kids fight, they get sent to a special school where all they do is sleep, eat, and work on class modules. It really is a blessing to go there.
If kids act up in class, the worst case scenario is to be sent to ISS (In School Suspension) where all they do is sleep, eat, and work on class modules. We had kids who would act up like mother ers just to be sent there. Once they got to ISS, they would act like angels.
There is no accountability.
I could give you example after example on how the public education system has failed children, but I just don't have the time to list them all.
my wife has maybe 20 parents out of 160+ kids that have legit email addresses.These kind of emails.
She spends about 4-5 hours a week making phone calls to these parents regarding grades and classroom behavior.
She has had several kids removed from her class because of their behavior. Several more from her class have been sent to alternative school because of their behavior in other classes which she was relieved that she didn't have to be the one to send them.
Any time they are sent to the prinicipal's office from her class for anything at all, she has to do ent it. Enough do entation, and she can get the trouble kid kicked out. A lot a lot a lot of paperwork.
You get out of it what you put into it. There are many, many way to enhance the public school system but not all parents but forth the effort.
what the are vice principals for if they can't help with the discipline issues...
The reason some teachers don't want to discipline is because the parents will sue if they do. I can also show you examples of how PARENTS fail their children with no accountability.
I agree to some point but it is NOT all the fault of the school system. And no I've never been a teacher but that doesn't mean I don't know squat about it.
bring back the hitstick!!!
I also know quite a few very successful people who went up through the community college system.
What should you do?

honestly, I blame society and parents far above putting blame on the public school system.
The public schools offer AP classes, so it's not as if they are forcing all kids to take basic 1+1=2 type of classes.
My wife teaches Spanish I in high school. She has the wide range of A's, B's, C's and F's as you might expect and on the surface, you'd think that sounds about right.....
until you realize that the stuff she gives them that a monkey could almost get an A. She and the other Spanish I teachers basically set it up to where you do your homework, you get an A....
but these lazy sumb!tches just sit there and don't want to do a damn thing. Due to budget restrictions, the books have to stay in the classroom and are shared by all of them throughout the day........which means she goes even easier on them......
some of the assignments are coloring assignments. some of them are just "repeat after me for an oral grade=easy 100"....she allows open book tests and spoon feeds them question/answer sessions before the test
but these fokin lazy ass kids don't want to lift a finger and actually try their damndest to get that F.
what's even sicker is that my wife can look up these kids grades in their other classes and their grades are almost identical across the board +/- 10 points................which means that science, math, and english teachers are basically doing the same spoonfeeding........just trying to get these kids to do SOMETHING.
The lazy ass at ude starts and ends at home.
/end rant
To the youth of tomorrow!
I concur.
But most of those parents are also products of the public school system. And several generations before them. Something to think about.
They sue because advoactes tell them to do so. Advocates are ing leeches in the school system.
I have already said parents should shoulder the blame. But, the way the school system is set up, teachers are powerless to do anything.
You really have to be a teacher to understand all this.
And, Blake is right. In order for you to get rid of a student who is just a flat out cancer, you have to have piles upon piles of do entation.
That's only if the kid is not Special Ed. There's a whole other issue with those kids, starting with the fact that most kids classified as Special Ed have absolutely nothing wrong with them at all.
But, the public school system has created loopholes for them to get away with every god damn thing they want to get away with. They have these bull things called BIPs (Behavioral Intervention Plans) that make it im ingpossible for teachers to do anything about thier behaviors.
I had a student with a BIP that had 24 interventions before I could refer him to the principal or counselor!!! 24 mother ing interventions!!!
You have no idea what it's like to teach in the public sector and you have no idea how public education is failing our children.
