In Las Vegas, schools are excessively over populated!
Awesome Tutors.com of Las Vegas, http://www.awesometutors.com
has been tutoring in LV for a few years. Before we were in San Diego.
We get stories all the time how kids have to stand because of lack of
desks.
Actually, because of that BS many just skip class all the time;
allowing for the ones that attend to sit down.
Most classrooms are overpopulated by 5 to 10 students; but since that
is about how many aren't their daily, the schools aren't getting the
funding they need.
In addition, many classes, especially in Math and Spanish Class, they
don't have enough books to be assigned their own!
ESPECIALLY WITH MATH AND FOREIGN LANGUAGE, THE STUDENT NEED TO BE ABLE
TO TAKE THE BOOK HOME AND STUDY!!!!!!!!!!
Instead the teachers are forced to print worksheets and study packets
for the students daily!!! TREES ???? I THOUGHT WE LIKE
TREES!!!???
The system says they are in dire need of teachers, especially math!!
Yes this is true; but it is not because there aren't enough
applicants; they don't have the money to pay them, or the classrooms
to house them!
All these issues are better for our business; but we care about the
general population of deprived students more than the extra money we
make!!
It is no wonder many parents are resorting to Home School and other
Homebound programs offered by Universities.
The Clark County School Distric isn't providing a positive environment
for our children; but it isn't their fault! They need more funding,
obviously!
SO WHAT DO WE DO??????
ANYBODY OUT THERE HAVE SUGGESTIONS?
THIS PROBLEM ISN'T LOCALIZED TO ONLY LAS VEGAS, THE ENTIRE USA SUFFERS
FROM THIS UNDERFUNDING PROBLEM!
WHAT KIND OF PROBLEMS DOES YOUR AREA EXPERIENCE?
