To notice the oppression and injustices in Carlsbad one would have to basically live there to truly see all that goes on. I noticed a dividing line between the schools; the schools in a sense instituted segregation between Whites and minorities. There are only two public middle schools in the city. PR-Leva middle school was located on the north side of town. Alta Vista middle school was on the south side of town. Students that went PR-Leva came from higher class families and also tended to be White. Students that went to Alta Vista were more likely to come from families on the south side of town which consisted of mostly lower-income minority families. The middle schools were the most obvious sense of segregation and injustice because there were only two of them. For most people in Carlsbad, the main problem they have is not with their children being put in different schools than the dominant group’s children, but rather the quality of the education they receive at the schools.
They are doing their best. Carlsbad suffers the most from a lack of teachers. Class are overcrowded and not diverse in subjects. Classes have been canceled due to no teachers. We have had spontaneous assemblies when too many teachers were pulled out for meeting. Teachers quit and there's no one else to fill the position leaving teachers having to manage twice the number of kids. And those said kids have so much whiplash from changing curriculum and lack of understanding that most drop out by senior. From the time i was a freshman I've seen the senior classes just get smaller and smaller every year.
I would like to see the schools be more involved in with what the kids are learning rather than giving an assignment. The arts are underfunded and we need better teachers. The schools need to be more diverse with what their teaching instead of the same boring things. More discussions need to be incorporated into everyday lessons. Basic life skills need to be taught and less drama between students. But overall what they teach does help but only for a short while until a test. An students will not stay off of their phones during class or won;t pay attention to what new teachers are saying. I believe the teachers are underpaid. Pay them more.
