is just too expensive.
The thing is, we got 2 wars for no financial investment, so we think education will be cheap. You're finding out who pays when education comes on the cheap: THe children.
The principal is beholden to the board of ed, and they have to get re-elected, and people think it should be cheap. If you follow that link you'll see the entire system is a mess: Tenure and seniority are in a whirlwind with school cuts tearing the schools apart.
When schools are in that much trouble, one kid complaining of bullying just doesn't seem to matter much: They don't know who's going to be teaching in a month.
When you de-stabilize schools with financial hardships, children fall through the cracks. If parents really want us to care for their kids as parents would, you have to keep the schools on an even keel, and maintain continuity. Make small changes very carefully, and plan for the needs of the children involved.
Instead, schools are getting the floors pulled out from under them, and kids are going to pay the price, while the taxpayers congratulate themselves for winning a political tax battle.
Kids are expensive in every way. There's no changing that.
Your private school will be able to expel anyone who bullies your child: That's something the public schools can't do. I hope it works out for you and your child.
