Recently the trend is more and more that the schools are raising the children. In recent years it seems, that the schools and teachers are to blame when a child does wrong, but the parent gets the credit when a child does right. There are teacher aides handling classes alone. This disrespects the students and the aides. There are some inexperienced teachers receiving the same salary as veteran teachers.
Salaries are still frozen while insurance, taxes, utilities, food and gas costs creep up.
Teachers may be non renewed without cause. Civil service employees have better job protection than CNMI teachers. Students have more rights to due process than teachers. Teachers have minimal say in their own evaluation and have no opportunity to evaluate their administrators. Changes of school calendar should not be made after the SY has started save in case of typhoon.
