4. Thanks. Sounds like a similar school system.

I wonder sometimes whether the problem isn't related to school size in some way. Our small city was small enough that one set of school administrators could operate the entire system as a single entity. We had 30 kids in most of my classes, but even that worked OK, it seems.

Our school was sort of strict with behavioral issues, too, but not oppressive, as I recall. I was the class prankster, too, so I had plenty of contact with the administrators at times. Tough but fair.

Maybe school size and community size plays a role in educational difficulties. I wonder if there's a way to deal with that situation.
