If you walk into any public school and talk to any teacher, you will hear the same complaints: Too many children in the classroom, not enough supplies or text books, students unable to sit quietly or focus on the teacher, and of course, teachers not paid enough money. If the list goes further you will find the physical conditions of the school itself is faulty.
It has gotten to the point to where kids are bumped up a grade just because the teachers are tired of dealing with them. Some seniors are graduating highschool with being able to read and write.
Where did all of this crap begin?
I go to a public high school, and most of my classes (excluding gym/health) are full of empty seats. I have never heard of supply problems except with computers(the supply problems with them is idiots breaking them) and lab equipment. Students being unable to sit quietly or focus have been around
forever. Nobody makes enough money if you ask them.
If that's true then I've been getting screwed since i first entered a school.
The only thing i truly hate about school is the useless homework. I know how to do the dam math problem do we need to go over it 20 more times and have 5 more pages of homework because some dumb ass didn't understand the homework bullstuff.
Repetition = Memorization.
My solution: get rid of school completely. 
I want to live in nation that has a failing economy (well, moreso than it is right now), mass starvation, and civil wars so I don't have to go to school!
