".your parents should have gone to the school board (few ever do) and demanded that they be reprimanded and, if that didn't work, fired!"
Uh huh... complaining. Never works. This is yet another good reason for school vouchers and school choice, so you can actually yank kids out of toxic school environments as a message to the schools to fix the situation.
I was going to quote that same thing. And reply, what poppycock that a commie unionist would ever be fired! Their jobs (i.e., money) are so precious!
Been there, done that, doesn't work. Show me a homeschooling parent today, and I'll show you yesterday's "troublemaking parent" at the school.
I'm sure you mean well with your suggestions, but it is very difficult going up against a monopoly convinced they are always right no matter what, and who reward administrators who bully teachers and purposefully do evil to children.
