A favorite student is suddenly shipped to the other parent's house and leaves. A student tries to commit suicide and you feel helpless to stop them. The student who does so well for awhile only to go back to using drugs. Sometimes I cry when I get home. Then I wonder why I'm in this.
Someone has to get involved.
Boy, how much time do you have and why don't we solve world peace while we are at it. Actually, in a lot of ways our schools are doing really well. We have the lowest drop-out rate ever. We have more students taking the SAT and attending college than ever. Our higher ed system is the best system in the world.
