[QUOTE="scratch, post: 1183499, member: 1674"] My wife has worked for years as a para-pro and substitute teacher in our local school system. She mainly liked to work with the severely handicapped students who had special needs and were confined to wheelchairs. There is just about zero discipline of any kind, the teachers aren't allowed to use that awful "No" word to students. The elementary school she usually worked at is the poorest one in the county, just about everybody gets free breakfast and lunch. Our public education system in this country is a joke, we spend more money per student than anywhere in the world, and are ranked low. When both our sons graduated a few years ago, half the seniors that walked up to the stage during graduation didn't get a diploma, they were handed a piece of paper that said they attended school for twelve years. They didn't want their feelings to get hurt. We run into kids all the time that can't count money and work cash registers at businesses, its really pathetic. My wife decided not to sign back up this year, the schools are a waste of time. [/QUOTE]
