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.
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!

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
I am on it 😇
