It is the administrators whoring school districts that make these children fail.
Yep!!!! San Jose Unified closed my kids' school last year, and it was a great school: medium sized, good test scores, active parents, music, science, and a cool outdoor nature trail.
Now, my girls are in an awful school. Science is considered an enrichment activity. It was a middle school that they converted to an elementary school. It's big, and there are tons of discipline problems.
I'm looking at homeschooling my kids next year.
