I found these items to be true. Schools have taken onto themselves the duty of being baby sitters. School administrators do not want parental involvement other than rubber stamping. States have passed laws that bypass parental authority under the insistants of schools, and then when violance happens they ask the school administrators what the cause was and make more laws to take more parental rights. Nice little circle.
School years are too long.
A childs need does not enter into it. Parents, teachers, administraters, and the rest do not listen to children that don't fit into thier mold. Everyone wants to blame someone else, or some inanimate object. Children have no real choices about thier education other than what society tells them. They must take an even larger growing list of classes to graduate.
