    It seems like the bad education is by design (minus Covid times). I think an instant improvement people would see would be to fund the hiring of more teachers and ensure teachers are all making a decent wage.

    If we are to keep class sizes 20-30 students then it would be appropriate to have 2-3 teachers in the classroom. I’m mainly referring to elementary schools here because kids need time to develop focus and studying skills.

    Extra staff gives students the opportunity to get more person teaching when needed and also allows teachers more free time to focus on teaching. If a teacher had to get to school early to oversee students on the playground before school, then helps with drop off/pickup after school and then has to go home and grade papers that night, they won’t have time and energy to improve their lessons. The system as a whole seems broken but I’m just an idiot like yourself lol. This is my outside perspective.
