Pros

Children are great despite the environment they're put in

Cons

-Teachers are pushed to treat young children as prisoners more than kids -Zero guidance for how to improve classroom -Teachers are not provided with resources to deal with a large classroom of kids, many of which have behavioral issues. Instead, they are taught how to talk down to students, restrain them, and punish them. - Curriculums are not developmentally appropriate, and instead push the idea that if a child is not succeeding, they don't have enough "grit"
