It’s a shame they didn’t have the funding to keep the libraries open. On the other hand, schools desperately need more discipline. There are horror stories from teachers on /r/teachers. Physical assault. Guns. Drugs. It’s insane, and there are almost no repercussions. If the previous system didn’t provide a high quality of education, I’m all for using a proven model instead.
