It really is driving me nuts. We had No Child Left Behind when I was growing up and now they have No Child Will Excel. Earlier in the year they took my daughter's birthday party invitations while handing them out before school in the gym and threw them away, saying they couldn't be handed out on school property because it distracts from important learning points. You know what they do in the gym before school. Sit and talk to each other until the get their 2 minute pep talk, the principal reads off the menu for lunch and if there is any special occasions for that day, and they read two horrible dad-jokes out of a book before sending them to class. But handing out 16 invitations to all the kids in the class sitting in a section is too distracting? When I was in school they made us hand them out to everyone, and it had to be done before class, while others were lining up for lunch, recess, or in the last 10 minutes when we were supposed to make sure we had everything we needed to take home. Adults were able to use rationale thought, what a concept. lol

I called her on that and she said  it is the way things are done there and I just have to accept it. I pointed out that I already have to accept the fact that of the 4 schools in my town that this was the place my kids had to go after redistricting (we only looked at houses that were in the South school's district, then got shafted and the lines moved a few years later), and her students average the lowest ACT scores of any of them by at least 2 points. "But I guess that is just the way things are done here, right?"

She hates me (and vice versa) and I completely am ready to pay the $6500 for the private school in town next year. I wish I could transfer them now but they don't do mid-year transfers. Oh well, I'm done complaining about it.

My kids school sucks too. I guess they had a lockdown last week cause a kid was flipping out (elementary school is Preschool to 2nd grade) and the person in charge of diffusing situations is my son’s teacher. So every classroom was under lockdown protocols except my son’s classroom which was completely unmonitored. Then the school didn’t tell anyone it happened and the only reason I know about it was cause I work with someone that also substitute teaches on the side.

There was this 30-something girl who used to work at my hotel who was literally the dumbest person I had ever met.  Brain likely fried from 24/7 drugs.  She is now employed by the school district as a paraprofessional.  She will be teaching kids things.  
 

My sister is home schooling her boyfriend’s kids.  2, 5, 8.  The 8 year old doesn’t know his ABC’s and they do schoolwork for 20 minutes a day before she lets them play video games.

Why are people liking this post?  This is some depressing ****.  So depressing global warming literally doesn’t matter and it’s probably best if it happens.  Humanity is ****ed going forward.

How the hell do they not at least send an aide or secretary there? Wow.

She will be fired soon as paraprofessionals are among the first cuts to be made (lowest negative impact) and (unless you're in a state with insane laws that are drastically different from what I have seen while researching homeschooling) when the annual testing that starts at 8 then your nephew's lack of education should put them under some scrutiny. I thought if they were too far below some threshold that the parents would not be allowed to teach their children from home any longer?

 

Either way, IDK what state you're in but there might be a resource for you here.
