Students are not the shitshow. I don’t fault individual teachers either but the incompetent deadweights in administration building that make your life incredibly difficult as a tax paying parent when you’re trying to enroll or transfer your kid or need any kind of basic assistance or clarity from their convoluted and often asinine practices. The level of disdain and contempt they show to people that pay their salaries and pensions is beyond despicable. Their standard protocol for responding to emails is “Ignore all”. Then when you are forced to call them it’s never easy - and that someone on the phone is usually just so fucking rude and impatient AF like “why the fuck are you bothering me?”. The culture from admin layer gets passed down to individual schools leadership unfortunately and overall this is the shitshow that gave birth to popularity of charters I am betting.
