Thanks to you and all the teachers out there.

Sincerely grateful for all you do. I think there are elements of our school system and society that make it stressful on all involved all for the sake of funding. I’ve always told my kids to follow the wisdom of Mark Twain and “not let school get in the way of their education”. That’s no knock on teachers IMO.

MY kids take 1-2 hours per day total for all schools work. Been nice for them.

We are the opposite. Our teacher is treating it like she is on holiday.

They're trying to teach like it's a 30 child classroom and it's not anymore.

Elementary grades are meaningless. The point is to tell parents how a kid is
