It is very sad to see what has happened to the public school system today in the United States:

1. Many schools in our large cities are run by defiant students who harass both teachers and other students. Under new guidelines from the federal government, defiant students may no longer be suspended (sent home).

2. Many parents make a financial sacrifice to send their children to private school, for although those parents pay taxes to maintain public schools, they feel that their local school would be unsafe for their children. Furthermore, the academic levels are very low, for the teachers have to concentrate on trying to maintain order.

3. In order to graduate as many students as possible, graduation requirements are being lowered.

4. In the past, idealistic reformers worked hard so that all children would have an opportunity to get a free elementary and secondary education. Now that it is possible, many students reject that precious opportunity and try to prevent others from getting their education.

5. Many bright college students are no longer going into the teaching profession. Politicians, activists, and the media blame the teachers for all the failures of the American school system, instead of blaming the true culprits -- badly behaved students.

still a very fine school

this school has a long history of prejudices, not real good!!
