Metro Schools need better focus and accountability. Parent and community support is not strong enough. Some schools make parents and visitors unwelcome. Some teachers make excuses and have low expectations. The school system is top-heavy.
School discipline is terrible.
Teachers don't have enough support. Instruction methods and school data management have changed little in of rapid changes in technology. Principals are not prepared to be managers. The media promotes only bad news about schools. School buildings are in disgraceful conditions.
