"Now" is relative, right?
I'm 60, and the list is long, but I read /r/Teachers and seriously don't get what's going on in public schools now. I can say that public school was CERTAINLY better when I was a kid. Grades mattered, kids got held back (and other kids shamed them for it), no eating in class, turn your assignments in on time, stay in your seat, pay attention, and shut up. Apparently, none of that applies now?
And, don't try to say "it's Covid". Yeah, it's gotten a little worse since then, but this shit has been increasing since long before five years ago. Also, yeah, "parents", but schools traditionally have been the place where kids got an education in spite of how dumb their parents were, that was the fucking point.
Now, if you'll excuse me, there's a cloud outside my window that needs a dressing down.
