I guess I'm a little more hard headed! I gave it 4 years! My last year I was pregnant. My daughter was born in March of 2001, and I never went back.
The school I taught at had a lot of poverty. The parents didn't give a shit about what their kids did at school. We had a handful of good ones, and for that I was grateful, but you can't rely on a small % of parents to pull the place out of the ditch.
Not to say "rich schools" are any better. They also have their discipline problems because mommy and daddy have taught these well to do kids that they are "perfect".
