A poor rural school that still is among the highest rated in its state

Worth watching: a Maryland school on the border of West Virginia, running on a shoestring budget, went to common-sense solutions: parents and neighbors help build and repair things in the school grounds, kids do chores to maintain the place, and much of the learning takes place outside:

Maybe if we just threw a little more money at Urban schools that will fix everything

This lady should be on Trump's new public education committee.

Imagine that, parents and staff that care and get involved leads to a better learning experience
But nope, lack of funding is the issue

Oh look, parents being involved and the kids do well.

Watched the whole video
Those kids will gain more useful skills and knowledge for the real world there than just about anywhere. If all schools operated like this we wouldn’t have a bunch of emotionally fragile pansies worried about their gender identity and glued to their phone

My oldest son had 12 kids in his graduating class. Yes....12.
And he got a much better education than he would have gotten at some massive "good school"

People that sent a man to the moon were educated in 1 room school houses.

This is what happens when government is out of the way.

I was a high school softball coach for a decade in a middle class area. We used a community field but then the kids decided they wanted a field on campus.
They and mostly their dads worked very hard on the field and added something cool every year. In ten years we had decks that served as bleachers, concrete dugouts, player locker rooms, two women’s and one men’s restroom, batting cages, a practice field so the JV could practice at the same time as the varsity, a equipment shed, and a Gator to drag the field.
It was amazing what those baws did for their kids.

Right on man!
His last two years at oden high school in arkansas I drove him which totalled an hour and 15 minutes a day. Didn't want him to have to change schools when we moved.
A few times the principal gave him rides home.

That school is about 30 minutes from where I live, had no clue about all of that. Very interesting!
