I really hate to take your bait, but I have to ask you a question. If for some reason your child was zoned for a school like this and you could not move into a better district for whatever reason, would you consider homeschooling an option? Just curious....
I intentionally moved out of an urban district so that I would not have to worry about teaching in an environment like this.
Let me ask the same question I asked another thread member. Do the parents bear any responsibility to teach civility and decorum?
