I was a tutor for 3rd graders and one student didn’t even know her alphabet. It’s so baffling to see how bad as a society we effed up. These kids are struggling and it seems like no one actually cares. I hear so much trash talk about what they can’t do and nothing being done.
That part! People don't want to help come up with solutions for the kids. Just drag them for not being able to do things. It's one of the things I struggled with when I was a teacher. Everyone believes that a teacher has time for individual lessons with their kid and it's just not realistic. Once you realize your kid doesn't know the alphabet or can't read or can't do basic math, that's not on the teacher anymore, it's on you as the parent. And it's not because they don't want to help, but because how are they supposed to do that? The solution has to be more than just complaining about the kids being behind and blaming the teachers for not being a 24-hour personal tutor.
