My daughter attended public schools in NE, FL and ME and had some wonderful teachers in all three states. Some were rural districts and some urban. But they all had competent school boards that cared about the education of the kids in their community.

They penalize teachers for saying "the wrong thing" or teaching from the wrong book, media, etc.

When did your daughter go to PS in FL???? They no longer have books in their school librabries!!
Really? She graduated from Ponte Vedra High School in 2014.
So, the students can check out books on their I-Pads or laptops now?
How do the elementary kids learn to read and write now?
