r/SchoolSystemBroke

When I went to school, I got lice and they basically told me to gtfo until I either shaved my head or got rid of them (which I completely understand!). The school nurse used to check us religiously and we also had eye/hearing exams.

Now I’ve had students come to school with lice or ring worm or chicken pox?!?! They’re allowed to stay because “there’s nothing we can do for it.”

parents are literally sending their kids to water park field trips with chicken pox and school nurses are putting bandaids over ring worm. is this just my area??

Hello, a boomer here. I am interested do kids use AI for homework and another tasks in school. And how teacher can control it, if it was AI?

Ok so this is going to be a very long post since I'll be finally letting out my frustration about my school

(English is not my first language so I apologize in advance for my mistakes)

So I'm very curious to know about different education systems from around the world. I'm from India and the education system here sucks really bad. We only have theory and equal to zero application (mostly) that it makes it harder for me to understand subjects like physics and chemistry that are better understood when done practically. Plus I'm not very fond of school I'm tired of teachers calling you out infront of the whole class bcz you're bad at a certain subject and I also don't like teachers announcing our marks to the whole class.

Teachers want to be treated as something very superior to us and we can't talk very openly to them. I guess this is mostly what happens in Asia. I'm in class 10th rn when we have to give our infamous board exams where you have to secure good marks bcz the results are released all over India and anybody can see it, be it a stranger, your neighbour your relative everybody is interested to know what's your score and if you score less then your teachers are also going to make fun of you in the school, telling your marks to the entire class. I've continuously heard that physical punishments have been banned from the schools but It's still happening in my school(although it's not that frequent). Here teachers are never ready to accept their mistake while there are teachers who'd openly own their mistakes there are also teachers who take it as a direct hit to their ego and gets angry whether it's about what they teach us or whatever.

They make us write a huge no. of things and that too in a proper way then we have to submit our copies to get it checked(since we also get marks on copy maintenance and completion of work) I remember submitting my physics copy and due to some reason I was absent on the day our copies had been distributed and when I came back I complaint to teacher that I can't find my physics copy, at first she tried to help me look for it but then blamed it on me that bcz I was absent that's why I lost my copy.

The same thing happened to me regarding my maths copy last year. They check our nails and hair regularly not even a single strand should be on your forehead but neatly combed and tied or clipped back. One teacher blackmailed us that she's going to thrash us if we're not in proper discipline and uniforms(as if such things are going to distract someone 🙄) and she literally taunted us saying that rn she's telling this in private but if we continue to be stubborn she'd thrash us right infront of the boys and we'd start crying( what a bitch of a teacher!!!) My english teacher continuously makes us write summaries of so many chapters without giving us a break and then expects us to write the question answer of all the chapters in a week all that when we already have other subjects to study and write. But I guess my life is still better than most students I'm not that burnt out bcz I don't have tuition or go to coaching. My parents are strict regarding my studies and my good marks are often overshadowed or overlooked upon bcz of bad marks but as time passes by my parents forget about it although my mother still taunts me about my maths marks whenever she gets the chance 😭😂. There are so many things I want to discuss but this post is already long enough so I'm ending it here.

Hello everyone;

tl;dr - if you have a complaint about Shepparton ACE Secondary College, please send it to acecomplaints7@gmail.

Long post below;

I am writing on this board to talk about a school in Shepparton called "Shepparton ACE Secondary College."

A lot of people have had significant trouble with this school that they've been unable to do anything about for the following reasons;

- The Department of Education does not oversee Independent Schools.

- The Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority ONLY audits policies and procedures of schools. It does not act as a disciplinary body if all the paperwork is in order, persay.

- Independent Schools Victoria is not a disciplinary body, either.

- Complaints via public channels such as Google Reviews, Facebook posts or attempts at press reporting get quickly squashed down for threats of litigation and lawsuits.

Therefore, I am attempting to collect stories in order to try and find a way to share it publicly so that people can hear the truth about what this school is doing.

Common questions I have received are:

1) Why do I need stories other than my own?

Because I am only one voice. More voices, more power, and everyone deserves to have their story told.

2) Why am I doing this?

Because everyone has been shut down thoroughly by the school silencing students and parents both whenever anyone tries to do anything.

3) What will you do with the stories given?

Send them to the press to try and get someone to write a story about this school and spread awareness so that SOMEONE does SOMETHING about it, because no one is.

If you have a story about ACE you'd like to share, please send an email to acecomplaints7@gmail.com with a name and phone number. If you'd prefer not to share that, an email to contact you best on would suffice (so send it from one you check).

The journalists have said that privacy is paramount. All names of people will be changed and no stories will be shared without the express consent of the people sending them in, hence the need for a phone number.

I ask everyone to please take this post seriously, and please understand that this post is in fact a last resort, not a first one. I have done everything I possibly can to try and bring my own story to the eyes of any authority, and I have been told "we can't help you." The police have done everything they can, also, but this is bigger than them.

Thank you for reading.

As school districts across the country face declining enrollment, many schools are closing or becoming underutilized. What should happen to these properties?
I’m conducting a short (2–3 minute) survey for my GIS graduate course to collect community opinions on the future use of school properties.
If you’re familiar with a public school in your community, please consider participating. Your anonymous responses will help create an interactive map and StoryMap exploring public preferences for school property reuse.

Thank you for your time and participation!

On Tuesday, June 17, the Trump administration signed an agreement stripping the Department of Education of two of its largest remaining responsibilities: special education and civil rights enforcement.

The Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, which administers $15 billion annually for more than 7 million students with disabilities, is being transferred to the Department of Health and Human Services. The Office for Civil Rights is being moved to the Justice Department’s civil rights division.

This move advances the administration’s use of “interagency agreements” to abolish the Department of Education through attrition, dismantling its workforce and authority piece by piece. Programs formally remain in existence, but they are being transferred to agencies that lack the capacity and expertise to administer them properly and are headed by officials who are outright hostile to their stated mission.

I need to know if this is even legal because it sounds like a complete scam.

My school is threatening to force students to pay a penalty/fee if we don't hit a specific "target mark" on our school examinations.

Let's be clear: this isn't a fee for a re-exam or extra tutoring resources. They are straight-up demanding money as a punishment for bad grades.

This feels incredibly predatory and unethical. Aren't schools supposed to help struggling students, not extort them for cash?

Has anyone else ever dealt with a school doing this? Is this even allowed, or should I be reporting this to the school board / education ministry immediately?

The official message circulated on class group :

Dear Parent

School kills creativity, imagine a shirt store but with only one size, that's the school system, they force you to wear that shirt no matter if you fit it, you are smarter than your class? They do not give a fuck, they want money and they won't spend it on you, the very thing adults say is supposed to help you is doing the opposite, now if a teacher is doing bad stuff u cant record it. Wanna know why? They are gonna argue with their phone ban and switch personas immediately that's why, now schools almost dont know how to educate, they use 80s technique that violate human dignity and expect u to be chill and when ur reasonably not chill and they ragebait u they blame it on u like ur the problem even tho ur not, and might even tell ur parents u did things u didnt, they do not care to explain the stuff they just say an umbrella term and call it a day and now ur parents believe them, u can just drop out and go into flight school and become a pilot like wth? School is stupid
