[QUOTE="BillM, post: 3978309, member: 45785"] After my teaching career crashed, and before I found a better job, I had a lot of spare time on my hands. I was also recovering from multiple surgeries, so couldn't do a great job of looking for a job, so when my two younger kids started High School, I wound up as the PTSA President at their school. My kids had to catch a bus around 5am to be at school on time for class to start at 7:30am. Their school absolutely forbade phones and all other electronics. I wanted my girls to have phones. Ours is not the greatest neighborhood, and the school was on the edge of an even worse neighborhood. Took over 3 years, and the retirement of the previous principal to get that to happen. Some of the teachers would keep phones for the kids, others would not. The school admin absolutely refused to allow phones even after the district approved them. I got so tired of trying to get things improved with no effect that when oldest daughter graduated, we allowed my youngest to drop out. She took the GED test a few days after her 16th birthday, and started classes at Rose state a couple of weeks later. My kids were in what is supposed to be a technology school. They were taking science classes. There are no microscopes in the classrooms. It's all bookwork and reading. They have a lab, but there is no equipment in it for doing actual science. No dissections, no test tubes, no litmus paper, no nothing. No advanced math courses, no calculus based sciences, either. Eldest daughter finished 4 years of JROTC, got an appointment to the USAF Academy, and turned it down to enlist in the USN. Got selected for Nuc school based on her scores. Of 38 students in her class, 8 graduated. She was the 8th. Anyone needs a way get an education for their kids, Khan Academy is what got her through that class. How she managed that and her class, I couldn't tell you, but she got a letter of commendation for it. 1st student that badly prepared that actually graduated. [/QUOTE]
