Lately, all I've seen from the school system is "we need more money", then they turn around, and instead of hiring more teachers, or getting updated textbooks and equipment, they build these new schools with all sorts of architectural bullshit that does nothing but cost money and make it pretty.
And what do we get for our money? Pretty buildings and kids who can't spell or make change at their job at McDonalds.
I have seen time and time again where failing students are not held back like in days past, and are then sent on to the next grade without knowing the material from the previous year OR even having basic thinking skills.
I can't have that.
