Then you have not looked very far at all.
It would be easy for me to identify public schools in PA with key clubs, AP classes, orchestra, all common sports, a series of foreign languages etc.
The note missing from these comments is the connection between local taxes and the quality of the school.
- cafard 5y agoI agree that local conditions make a huge difference, even within school district: but I think the parent comment's point had to do with virtual classes.
- dorchadas 5y agoI would argue those things are usually tied together. The parents who are more committed are generally those who have the finances and time to be committed and thus are already in the better schools. It's the main issue in the school I taught at. Parents didn't care and kids knew and it rubbed off. Until the kid failed, then it was the teachers fault. They see no value in education, very generally. Rural southern school. And until that's fixed, and the social issues at home (kids sleeping in cars, only 15% of our kids had both parents at home, etc) we can't truly make improvement. But nobody wants to tackle the social issues.
- troupe 5y agoThose are public schools that are 100% virtual?
