MODERN CHAOS

This is the learning environment for hundreds of thousands of students in American schools today. Utter chaos: Disrespect for teachers and disrespect for each other: Secret bullying, stealing clothes, pencils, food and threatening family: Campus fights nearly everyday: Never knowing when one of those dramas will turn into a gun battle: A classroom noise level that is unbelievable: Great grades given if you are a favorite student: Extra points given that you didn't earn: Report cards revealing a child's true progress? No! Parents are so deceived by report cards today. Is this what you want your child to grow up in? Learning will not be the priority I can assure you. Academics are only a shadow, and a faint one, in schools today. The only way change will happen is when massive numbers of parents pull their children out of brick and mortar schools, form co-ops, whatever it takes, and teach their own precious children and school them in a wholesome value system which this country is sorely lacking. If you can't teach, then let internet videos do it for you. There are many free sites and resources. If you can afford it, place them in a small home school; one that doesn't operate on the herd learning mentality.(This eliminates many private schools-as most of them have adopted the disaster that is Common Core). The result will be a better educated student who feels loved instead of daily rejection and manipulation. Then the fun club that American education has become will come tumbling down, just like her international averages have come tumbling down until she is lower than Zimbabwe in some subjects! If you love your children, you will extricate them from the train wreck of MODERN CHAOS - American Education - while it is still legal to do so.
