Maybe the schools tend to be trying. But between having basically no disciplinary authority, no threat of failing kids because admin always makes sure kids pass, and chronic underfunding. You end up with the teachers trying to teach something basic while half the class is watching tiktoks on their phone, a quarter are talking to each other, and another quarter are skipping. And the teacher has basically no authority to do anything about it.
They can’t fail kids. Admin strongly pressures them not to send kids to prinicpal or detention because it’s a waste of admin’s time. So they can’t really do anything to get the class into check. In that environment, you end up teaching for the few kids that listen and passing everyone else with C’s at admin’s request.
This was my experience teaching a year in a “lower middle class” neighbourhood in the US. As a european it was massive culture shock.
And good fucking luck being more engaging than a tittok as a math teacher. I put hours of work into making engaging and participative lessons, almost felt like I had to plan a show instead of a lesson to keep the students engaged. And still was incredibly underwhelmed by kids participation.

Defence often being a euphemism for the military.
“Department of Defence” “Defence Spending” etc. For countries that use their military chiefly for offensive operations, the euphemism almost sounds Orwellesque. “Department of Peace” “Department of Truth”…

NOTE: I only play correspondence chess. And this rating is correspondence chess. I don’t know what my elo rating would be in time controls. I have a disability that affects the mitochondria (energy production), and I’m unable to concentrate for a whole game so I play correspondence. This game was pretty cool. I managed a centipawn loss of 19. And to win by +3 when my openent made 0 blunders (1 mistake, 3 inaccuracies), and I managed to scrape the game by with only a single inaccuracy (0 blunders, 0 mistakes). I tend to spend a long time analysing moves and even take notes (which is allowed in correspondence chess), so perhaps my rating is more of an indication of the effort I put in than my true skill. But I’m quite proud nonetheless.
