The teachers are a real mixed bag, there are a couple of good ones but the rest are very average or less. I've done work in a lot of public schools and it's the same across all of them.

Long weekend coming up? You'll find a 'teachers only' day tacked onto it. When I was working with schools (IT work) we'd often do major changes on these days because NO ONE was there. They also have loads of union days, training days and other weird shit.

I think my son struggled because of all the ideological shit being pushed by some teachers like the rainbow community stuff, focus on climate change, sitting in circles singing kumbaya or something (don't laugh... my 2nd son has described this happening).

Simply put our public schools are no longer academic institutions. They see their job now is to indoctrinate kids, and a lot of kids don't like it.
