1 Increasingly, it seems that parents should be charged with Neglect ... if they make the choice to entrust the care of their children to employees of schools

-- for hours and hours and hours, day in day out, week after week, month after month, year after year.

2 This is just another reminder:

1. You have no idea what adults interact with your child at school.

2. You have no idea what classmates interact with your child at school.

You do not know what psychiatric conditions these people have.

You do not know what psychiatric medicine these people have been prescribed.

You do not know who's on cocaine, opioids, mushrooms.

You do not know which children are being molested at home.

You do not know which children and which adults are fantasizing mass murder.

And -- such information in general is illegal to be shared with you.

3 And, as has been pointed out by many others, it has most definitely not always been "like this."

In the past, anyone who made trouble ... was removed. Period. Students and/or teachers and/or parents and/or aides and/or administrators.

Over time, schools have evolved (devolved?) into places where there is an almost comical expectation to be all things to all people.

Breakfast.
Lunch.
Laundry. Yes, laundry for children whose parents don't/can't do that.
And worst of all -- mental health services, in class, for every child, for every conceivable psychiatric condition.

Ridiculous. Preposterous. Crazy.

-----
The case above is just the very tip of a gigantic iceberg.

Trust me, American schools are not where you want your children spending the majority of their time during the day.

5 Yes. They're a problem, and a major one.
But imho several other problems are just as large and just as intractable.

The immediate issue is that American schools just are not safe places.

8 ^Now imaging me, seating in a teachers' room, and noticing math teachers looking for solutions to textbook problems on a special teachers' site.

9 The parents of the trailing daughters’ award-winning elementary school had to take science education away from the teachers because, lovely and caring as they were as people, they were getting basic things wrong, like the difference between parallel and series circuits in 4th grade science. A bunch of the moms were trained scientists, engineers, doctors, and health-related professionals (nurses, OTs, PTs, etc), and what they saw was painful to them. So the PTA got some grants, collected lesson plans that met the state curricula, acquired appropriate supplies, and provided every class with a subject matter lecture and lab weekly throughout the school year. The job of the teachers was to keep order so the parent specialists could teach, while the rest of the volunteer parents helped. It was a very popular PTA committee.
