This is part of the defunding of education. 20 years ago my high school was wall-to-wall desks you had to squeeze to get to, and it's only gotten worse since then.

I always knew my high school was slightly fancy. Nothing extreme just, had decent facilities and decent groundskeeping, etc.

I never realised it was fancy for having under 40 kids in a class. This, at the same time as yours.

I promise myself to never to fall for that "kids these days aren't we good as we were" bullshit. Kids these days are going to need a lot of help. Maybe more than we can even give.

Kids these days are generally more intelligent but less well informed than kids in generations prior, in my observation.

Raise a reader like your life depends on it, has been my approach so far

Inspired by this thread, today I set up my kid's neglected bedroom Linux computer to read comic books off my media server and he's already obsessed. Woo!
