The issue is not classroom sizes or a universal education plan from K through 12; the staff is the problem. I have gone through private and public schools from K through 12. I can guarantee there is no issue with how the schools are run. In private school, I was picked on and bullied not just by the students but also the teachers. In public school, I witnessed teachers and staff pick on students. In both public and private schooling, the teachers teach for the test and not for the betterment of the student. I had a teacher in junior year of high school who is let the students use the study guide that perfectly lined up with the test and would even give the answers to the study guide the day before and the day of the test. I have had counselors tell students that if they do not get until this specific college, they’re wasting their time. I had a teacher, my English teacher, set the entire class down and tell us that if we do not get into Stanford university that we will never amount to anything in our lives. My biology professor during Covid online teaching cut off all communication other than this is when the assignment is due, which means I am paying someone to verify that the test that is being run by a third-party robot is correct.was your biology lab course in college involving hands-on experimentation? Or was it filling out a worksheet that can be googled in 10 seconds? There are websites that students can submit their essays into that were already grade and submit the appropriate score of that essay or term paper into the grading book for the professor, so they don’t even have to move a finger. Our students aren’t failing because they are dumb or lazy, or they don’t have the resources. Our students are failing because our teachers and professors are failing to do their job. Of course, there are tons and tons of teachers who not break their back for their students figuratively and physically and truly deserve $3000 a day for the bullshit that our country puts them through and teaching next generation but go back to your school that you want to or that your children are going to and ask yourself could I pass this class today? Could I pass my child’s classes with their workload and their teacher's ability to teach? As an adult, can you go from 8:15 to 3 and obtain 6 to 7 classes worth of information, go home and complete 12 hours worth of homework that’s two per class for the next day, and still have time for any sports extracurricular activities and or a part-time job? Could you handle it if it was only three classes, so that’s nine hours a night because instead of having three extra classes a day, you have more time to do homework, so it’s an additional hours' worth of homework per class? Could you handle a teacher who tells you and your class that you will never amount to anything if you don’t go to a specific college and then refuses to teach you to prepare you for college? Do you think the 65-year-old or 75-year-old teacher or counselor knows what’s best for you when you go and apply for college? Do you think a freshman in high school should be taking5 college courses as a set minimum standard to graduate high school? These things look good for the school, but they don’t help our students. We ignore our students, and we listen to the teachers and professors who constantly ask for money. Still, instead of going to those who need the money, they dump it into the schools, the physical school buildings, and they spend it in inappropriate ways. Your school did not need that new football field or that new gym; they needed water fountains that worked. They needed a school nurse who had actual first aid equipment instead of that little box of Band-Aids your child was asked to bring to school; your school needed AC and not a new desk for your principal. Hold the staff accountable. The staff is responsible, not the state, not the federal government. The staff is responsible. And just because you taught an old dog new tricks doesn’t mean you have a new dog.
