I dismissed what this teacher said after I saw the complaint that they aren’t paid enough. In this country we spend far too much on education and get negative returns.
Right now they are being asked to surrogate parent the kid. For what they are making, its not enough.
The mandates as to what a school must do are piling up on the public schools. This is in response to what is not happening at home.
That she can’t communicate this well is further symptom of the issue.
The only magical thing about private schools is that they can choose to expel the kids they don’t want to teach.
However, you can only talk about the cost of education with respect to either an individual state, or an individual district. The numbers are all over the map. In DC, they ladle the money on, and nothing changes. In small school districts, they share textbooks.
