I agree with all except for not placing any blame on the parents. It's 90% the parents. DCF has their hands bound because no one wants to foster so these kids are staying with their parents who don't give a shit about them and would rather have to schools raise their kids. Kids coming to school with bruises, multiple reports to DCF and nothing being done. There are kids going to kindergarten who aren't even bloody potty trained yet. Kids in third grade who can't even read or do basic addition yet don't have an IEP.

We are pulling our kid out of public school to go online because there is no learning anymore. All teaching time is taken up to correct behavior.
