1. Four years have been miserable in this school, like a hellhole.
This quote is made by a student who studies in a school in America. I know that most of the students don’t really like school, but a hellhole? I also don’t like school but not that much. This quote shows how students are satisfied with their school – not at all.
2. How much? The more, the better.
This is a quote made by a principal when she was asked, “How much money do you need for teaching students?” When the parents of the students say, “My children learn nothing from the school.” the schools say “We need more money to provide education with better quality.“ However, it is ridiculous to say so while many schools spent a great amount of money to build swimming pools and gyms. Are they helpful for the students in academic ways? Not really.
3. South Carolina over 12 years spent nearly a hundred thousand dollars on Dorian's education but they left him behind.
This is made by the narrator. Dorian is a student who attended school in South Carolina for 12 years. However the boy could not read at all. Therefore his mother took him to a private education center and asked them to let her child read. The center provided 72 hours of education using computer and workbooks. The result? Dorian achieved reading skill of second grader’s level.
4. They were giving him the answers and he said they were teaching me to cheat, so they could pass him on to the next grade, the no child left behind thing, you know.
Isn’t it insane? A mother is accusing the reality of American school. One day her son said, “The school is teaching me to cheat.” She asked what happened in the school, and as the consequence she knew that the school taught him just the answers and told him to cheat and pass the exam.
5. It's almost impossible.
What’s impossible? To fire a teacher. A teacher sent a sexual e-mail to a 16 year old student, but the school could not fire him because of the teachers union. It takes more than a year to fire a teacher in official process. The school has to care teachers equally no matter how they work in school. They are paid equally even when they do remarkably, normally, or terribly.
