Also, do you think their generally negative image is well-deserved, or unfair?

If tv and movies taught me anything it's they never actually go to school or if they do they never go to class or if they do go to class it's never to fucking learn but to fuck around

Societal problem

Lack of societal emphasis on the value of education. you see this from the lack of parental involvement through the general disrespect towards teaching as a profession.

And that there's a massive height difference between 17 and 18
17 year olds are 4'0 and 18 year old working adults are about ten feet tall

Im 10+ years removed but Id say one of the biggest problems is the push towards college. Its not for everyone and there are plenty of other options out there that high schools generally ignore. At my high school there was actually a vocational program where you could spend half your day at a trade school developing skills but somehow there was a stigma against these kids and generally only the underachievers were given this opportunity.

Another thing high schools miss out on is the lack of real world skills: creating a budget, the true costs of loans, learning about tax code, making basic repairs around the house, choosing proper insurance coverage, etc etc.

History classes are too American-centric and tend to white wash some of the true horrors weve committed throughout history, especially to native Americans and African Americans.

Music and the arts continue to get cut for budgeting which stifle the creativity creativity of younger minds.

The focus on standardized testing also limits teachers in their curriculum.

Cyber bullying seems to Ms to be a huge problem too. With social media it seems like kids can never really disconnect from school these days. Not sure what can be done but Im sure it effects mental health.

Im sure there are others but those are the first few I thought of.

Too much emphasis on homework and not enough on actually accomplishing something meaningful. And whats up with all or nothing grading? If a student skips one (or even several) question(s), still give credit for what WAS done. And zero tolerance late work policies? Way to emphasize learninggood job, teachers! /s

I teach high school, BTW. Some of my colleagues policies drive me nuts. And I have two kids, one in high school. Dont even get me started on his teachers.
