>>what in God’s name has happened to Katy, TX.
Same as every place: schools run by professional “educators”, which are people who are taught how to teach/indoctrinate and most of them have never worked outside of academia in their whole life. They are totally disconnected from the reality of life outside of school.
My sister raised her kids then went back to school and has taught for 25 years, this is her last. She loved it but can no longer go along with the bull. She says all the good teachers are leaving.
