how school is different for kids today than it was for them. From sweet, nostalgic reminiscing to legitimate complaints, here are some of their most interesting answers:"I graduated high school in 2019, and work very closely with high schoolers now, five years later. The change is astounding. One of the teachers I worked with had a failing rate of 50%. Half of her students had an F, and it was because they wouldn’t hand their work in.
"We found our best option was for both my husband and I to take off work. We were able to support both kids and provide a separate environment for my son to do class in. Luckily, this year once and the teacher cut the school day in half, but I couldn’t imagine how we would manage if it occurred more.""There are a ton of differences, mostly bad, but a few good. My middle school students are absolutely screen-addicted and have very short attention spans.
"On the upside, there are way more dual credit programs now. I wish we'd had that option. Dress codes are less puritanical now in many places. I still feel funny wearing tops/dresses with straps narrower than two inches thanks to public school. Dyed hair and multiple piercings are allowed. Digital textbooks would've saved me some nerve damage if we'd had them 20 years ago. Trade programs are growing in the high schools. My coworker's son is in a welding program.
