What is it like being an alumni of a school that’s underfunded or neglected? Even if the school is “good” (as in well funded or private), does the learning environment reflect that? Also, the dark side of American schools (shootings) dampens peace of mind for parents since at any given moment some gun wielding individual can storm in murdering those inside (students, teachers, custodians, etc.)
The school district where I grew up had a dropout rate of 50% by Junior year of highschool. Junior year was the earliest they allowed highschool students to drop out.
Ngl I didn’t finish highschool because the environment is just so depressing. Its toxic and feels hostile… and it feels so dilapilated. Got into a fight…
I just took the GED instead, those scores ended up way more impressive than my GPA anyways (math and science were “college ready” whatever that means). Same diploma anyways…
Philly schools are so garbage
