The public schools I attended while growing up did not have funding for advanced classes. Students who were far ahead in classes with the “gen pop” were pushed into the role of unofficial teacher aides, charged with helping our struggling peers through the class content. It was hugely demoralizing as a student and discouraged doing well.
- light_hue_1 3y agoI hear this all the time now that I'm an educator (albeit at the university level). Kids report that they hated school, wasted their time, and were horribly demoralized. Only when they got something more serious to challenge them later in life did they flourish. Those that made it at least. Sorry it happened to you! I really don't want that for my kids. I'm amused that my comment was highly upvoted and now it sits at a zero. I guess it's a reflection of the crowd here too.
