It is true. I used to teach in 2000-2003 and did a little subbing after then back in the classroom in 2005-2008. I can't imagine going back now...even to sub.

Sigh... @apanamamama it makes me sad! I think if I ever have grandkids, they should be homeschooled.
Yes, it is true. Public schools are just not good (in most cases) these days. My nephew attends AHS and I asked him how it was the other day. His answer was, "huge." Yep, it definitely is. I graduated from what is now the freshman center. It seemed small then (with our class of 444). When I taught at the freshman center, the class was 1000 students! Insane!! That's just talking about size, not even about how the students (or teachers) act. Or being able to get into extra curricular activities - who actually gets to play on that football team? Not the regular kids, only the extreme athletes! Anyway, homeschool is the way to go, that's for sure. ;)
@apanamamama my kids graduated from AHS in 2009 and 2012. They both ended up in their own little niche and had mostly great teachers. I agree it's probably too big now -- they probably should have built a 2nd high school.

Yes, they should have gotten a second one instead of a super 5A. Or are they 6A now? I don't even know. It's crazy. I was doing the math to see if I would have had or seen your kids. I was at Curtis in 2000-2002 and then at the freshman center in 2003. So I just barely missed your kids. ;)
