kids are even stupider in this generation...thats no surprise to me...i saw a vid where teens could not tell fukking time on a clock with roman numerals...i was appalled
Can’t keep saying the education system in this country is bad. It’s the parents fault.

teachers are in 24/7 communication with parents. All the schools have apps where they can direct message and email, plus they can text or call whenever something is wrong.
Its not 1996. The school doesnt have to call and leave a message on the answering machine and wait until you get home and check your messages before you know your kid is fukking up.
Its not 1982, you arent waiting for the mailman to drop off your report card or progress reports.
Parent teacher conferences are a waste of time, if you dont want to actively be involved in your kids school. Which might be pretty hard to do these days because if your kid is in band, sports, any club. You pretty much have to be in or at the school, in more communication by that alone than 95% of other parents.
The problem is teachers cant get fired based on student results. If a middle school teacher has 6 classes a day x7 students for 3 years, lets say out of the entire school year 4 fail. 90% pass. We can call those kids loser, they dont care about education, their family doesnt care, they dont do the homework, they dont show up to class unless forced. lets say 1 of those 4 failures is actually a kid whos struggling, tries but cant grasp, need additional assistance. Lets say thats acceptable.
If a teacher after 3 years has a 15% failure rate, is a total of 105 graduates out of 126 total students or 21 failures. Never is there an intervention saying "hey we need to evaluate your teaching methods, we need to have someone sit in and see why so many kids or failing.
Its easy to point the fingers at parents and at home, and videogames and music because those are evaluated either but the problem isnt at the school or in the classroom.

Yes and No. You should be getting your tax money’s worth when it comes to public schools educating your kids. Upper middle class whites ain’t having this issue. You think Tom the COO of corporation X is sitting down with Timmy after working 10 hours to go over his homework?
The first thing Tom is going to bring up is the 5 figures he pays in property taxes to have access to good schools, and if there is a problem with the school system, changes in said administration will be made swiftly. Believe that shyt. Childless mofos will still come in here and morally grandstand tho…Tom the COO of corporation X is paying someone to sit down with Timmy and tutor him. And he's doing that while Timmy is in grammar school, high school, college and grad school.Yes and No. You should be getting your tax money’s worth when it comes to public schools educating your kids.

Nobody bothers with childless people's opinion on parenting for good reason.

Poor Black kids in Poor Black schools - you already know.
But rich white kids in rich white schools and OVER INVESTED PARENTS? - Who woulda thought?

This is actually false as someone who went to an elite institution and saw first hand that most these kids in those COO parent brackets have personal tutors, in college...
Y'all gotta stop bringing these rich/true upper middle class people into these convos until you're ready to get honest about how they're actually moving.
The quality of teachers graduating is not that good anymore
Schools aren't getting funding
AND parents are so busy working 10 jobs they don't have time to spend with their kids doing homework.
It's a combination of factors. Blame can be assigned everywhere. Let's focus on solutions

I personally know some cats like this….. black and white…. fukk the COO title, it’s a money thing. You think a first gen Nepali or Mexican American always have parents that are fluent in speaking and reading English?
The Nepalese parents may own 6 restaurants and live in an area where they have access to a top 50 school system. The Mexican parents may own 4 tire garages and have access to the same school system…. Majority of them ain’t throwing money at tutors unless it’s time to prep for college…. Upper class white folks too.
