There is a mysterious force in our school, that sucks dirty dishes from staff's hands and drops them into the sink. The weird thing is, it wipes the memory of the dish holder so they don't even remember that their dirty dish ended up in the sink. The dirty dish then remains in the sink, until the select helpful fairies take it upon themselves to clean up the mess.

Because we need to provide all academic courses for post-secondary, we have limited courses that may engage those students that are not looking for any post-secondary advancements. As a result, these students take academic courses they are not interested in. It makes it difficult for teaching staff.

Because we focus so much on the struggling students, it can limit our ability to push academics to their potential.

With so much history exclusion can become pretty severe. This is a strength for those who are "in" and really tough on those who are not.
This also gets in the way of learning because they can team up against the teacher if they want. Certain grades do this more than others.

students have to take classes they are NOT interested in, don't need for their career etc. and this can be so challenging to engage. Example, half my class is wanting to go into healthcare and they really care about learning Bio and the other half want a 51% so they can graduate.
