I don't know if we as a society want to tell these middle class families to just "figure it out".


This is where choice and responsibility comes into play. If you are a middle class family you have room to run before you are poor. Do you need such an expensive house and cars? IDK. Poor people keep managing to live with far less than a middle class family. A lot of people get paid more but magically have the same amount of free cash as they did before, but that's because they buy more expensive stuff.

I am not saying you don't make a good point, I'm just saying for most of us life is about choices and sacrifices. This is an enormous cost/sacrifice to make. That family could continue to pay for babysitters for their children too, someone is going to fill that new economic void that would be left behind.

What happened to the money for books?

Montgomery Public Schools teachers steal $700,000 on strip clubs, liquor, and undeserved scholarships.

Oh, and the state superintendent suspects that this report is not the end of the story. More money was stolen; they just haven't found it yet.

(At least the Carver HS coach that misappropriated money for State Basketball Champions rings provided something to the kids.)

Incompetence & graft all the way around.

All high schools should go online with an expectation 13-19 year olds can behave. Let parents deal with the bullshite and class can move forward with the future productive members of society

I was in Honors English as a junior and had the lowest C you could get. Next semester I moved to on-level and had a 100 for the semester.

You can’t do online schools because teens are left unsupervised having sex and doing drugs while the parents work.

Pay is pay. Some better than others. That's always been an issue. The real problem is the lack of parenting at home and the environment of the classroom. Many kids have no responsible parents at home to hold them accountable, teach respect of authority, help develop their study skills or encourage life beyond the moment. That transfers to the classroom in their lack of respect, entitlement attitude and no interest in what an education can do for them later. The school districts are a complete joke as they fear lawsuits more than anything. They have let lawsuits handcuff them from doing what is right with discipline at school. They won't discipline correctly or at all. Just passing the kids on through the system with the teachers taking the abuse. This won't stop until the teachers begin getting support from the school district to remove the bad apples and keep them out with real penalties. But, right now no one is showing that kind of leadership........

This is what happens when your pay teachers poorly and thus you don’t attract quality candidates or administrators.


Dunno about principals by and large, but superintendents are gettin paid.

That's a lot of the problem, in my opinion.
