My mother is a teacher, and the stories she tells me make me really doubt our public education system. Administrators only care about 'passing' students so that they can 'graduate'. Helping students during standardized exams? Happens. Passing students with a 14% score in the class so they can graduate? Was forced to do that. Teachers that don't teach, but try to be 'cool' and play phone games with the kids? Ok. Admins implementing shitty policies because they read a paper by some idiot phD? Yup. Tons of busywork for teachers, designed to wear them out and get them to just play along with the 'pass everyone' game? A stack of that. And this is supposedly the best school in the county...many houses in the $mills$ nearby.
