    I have some friends who are teachers in Oklahoma. Which is pretty much the pilot for republican education in the US.

    These kids are not alright. One of them had to confiscate a ruler a kid turned into a shiv. These are 7th graders.

    This is one of the better schools in Oklahoma, too.

      When mommy and daddy are constantly a hair's width of financial ruin and both work two minimum wage jobs, even though they have degrees but their either overqualified or way underqualified for anything, and take it out on thier kid this is what happens.

        Yes, and drug abuse in Oklahoma is astronomical. It was one of the first states where the opioid pandemic hit. It's a very poor state that is full of oil barons.

        A lot of those kids go home hungry.
