Public school grad here who made it out okay because of a strong family and advanced class work/somewhat solid school districts.
While public education is definitely worse than it was when I went, we need to fix the system for those kids who don’t have other options. Not all families can homeschool due to income and job constraints. Not all families can afford private schools for the same reason. It’s also difficult to teach tech school curriculum at home, and Lord knows we need those skills back in this country sooner rather than later.
Much like those Boston schools deciding not to teach AP anymore, these trends are only hurting those that have potential but can’t afford or arrange a suitable education alternative.
This feels like a limbo period where we don’t have a good solution to the problems we are seeing, but to celebrate people needing to leave a failing public school system feels wrong.
Well said!
People can be very creative if they CHOOSE to be and find it important enough to keep their children away from the public fool system. I'd love to see a few households in each neighborhood pool their resources (whatever that looks like) and share the burden. The public fool system will NEVER hold a candle to what interested, involved and dedicated parents can do. This is part of taking our country back.
