And still today and always every election there is a bill for school bonds and this time three of them plus firemen. No one ever sees a change for the better in school despite all these bonds so must me for their pensions. Once teachers got paid from the state teaching went down hill. They get paid wether the kids learn or not
Parents still have to pay for sports and get pricier every year. I don’t think they have baking or sewing or woodshop or mechanics in highschool anymore.
They also had bakers in the cafeteria now just processed foods like pizza slices lots of wheat based carbs little protein or vitamins empty calorie type and anything fresh. In the 50s they had after school programs for latch key kids or remedial reading for some and skating with kind of skates you strapped on your shoes and had a key to tighten them.
The teachers had some kind of piece of wood with holes in it if the kids got out of line I only seen used once on a boy. I remember kids could leave school to go home for lunch if they lived close enough that isn’t safe anymore.
Kids learned reading better with the Dick and Jane books than today and a big reason kids are having trouble. Why change it if it isn’t broke. Thousands of grandma’s went on line to buy them to teach grandkids how to read today and daughter followed. That and aforementioned not enough time given to teach and the complicated the math, no more memorizing. You’ll see a bunch of boxes they have to fill out doing math. It’s waisted time and energy and conflicts with parents trying to tech them. How can they possibly do that in their head. So they depend on calculators although they can also be convenient and people can get out of practice. I was shocked to see a afro American nurse use one for a simple math for a medication years back.
On the other end many vaccine injured kids now with attention and learning issues for different reasons.
Now if their worried about abortions maybe they should teach condoms instead of gender confusion.
