Reply to comment by fredezz in Do you think Maine should mandate later start times for high schools? by benpinette

So what if they do? What’s wrong with kids who aren’t already conditioned to work in some lame office 8 hours a day? If they can do all their learning from 9-2, what’s the difference? From what I have experienced, teachers do very little instruction at the hs level. It’s more about maintaining order and teaching to standardized tests

The reality is that shitty high schools are becoming (or already) the norm. At my highschool in the late 2010s there were a ton of teachers who phoned it in and did little but going off of a packet, and when you have the problem of teachers getting shit pay and shitty working conditions all over the country you're only going to make that problem worse.

The downfall started in the 60s thanks to the boomers, just been going down hill since then, just like everything else they touch.
