School districts statewide are grappling with declining enrollment, which means resources at some schools are being cut, with teachers being swapped to different schools.

While the pandemic turned things upside down for many, KIRO 7 spoke with a mom who said her daughter, who is a bright kid, is taking third-grade math in the second grade.

Then in fourth grade: “They had low enrollment and took a small group of fourth graders and put them in a third-grade class as a split class, but with no notice,” mom Courtney said. Some told KIRO 7 that Seattle’s gifted or highly capable program was changing in a way that no longer provided the same advanced class options for their kids.Others switched because private schools reopened more quickly to in-person learning.

Also in the top 10 list of schools with the steepest enrollment drops is the school where Courtney’s older daughter attended, Montlake Elementary, which lost 26.4% of its students, or 66 students.“I do feel guilty because we are part of that flight, and I feel like we tried for a long time to be part of the solution and it just didn’t seem to matter,” Courtney said.The archdiocese for schools in Seattle said enrollment at their 72 Catholic schools in Seattle increased by 6% on average.

Hmm.. could it maybe have to do with the thousands of kids being killed in their classrooms?

Tik Tok woke teachers, forcing gender shit on kids, covid lock downs exposed parents to the actual teachers and how they hate parents all while kids are dumber than ever. People are waking up. Focus on read, writing, math, and science..hold teachers accountable for success

Offer a crappy product and no surprise enrollment drops. We should have a voucher system like AZ where parents can choose where kids can go and not be locked into the single public school choice

Gee, who would have thought there would be consequences for disrupting these kids educations to pacify the fears of narcissistic adults? All your stupid Covid games coming back to bite you. Karma

Good! The public school system is trash. Glad to hear parents are opting their children out!

Parents Are Backing A Mom Who Sent Her Kid To School With Personalized School SuppliesA Reddit user is asking if she was in the wrong for sending her daughter to school with personalized school supplies when the teacher asked for generic. Wow, what a great lesson in teaching your kid to f&$ the poor kids. OP took an opportunity to teach kid about appreciating what you have and learning to share with the less fortunate and turned it into Selfishness lesson: I got mine, who cares about you I don’t understand how schools don’t, collectively, have more buying power for supplies than individual parents. It seems that I, a parent, should be able to give the school $20, and the school could buy supplies and get a better deal. She has every right to personalize her kids things. I wouldn’t personalize my kids stuff (no judgement if you do!) but I would buy my kid fun supplies and when possible I’d buy enough for the entire class. Like a box of cool pencils to share so other kids could feel special too!
