Rude Kids, Lazy Parents

iwz by iwz · Apr 23, 2003 · News · 157 views

They finally figured it out. The biggest problems with schools and education is the kids, teachers, and parents (haha). CNN.com reports here:


"Ill-mannered pupils, demoralized teachers, uninvolved parents and bureaucracy in public schools are greater worries for Americans than the standards and accountability that occupy policy makers, a new study says."

Very interesting article. You should read it.


What do you guys think? What have been your high school experiences?
