      I’ll take your word for it as that page says nothing useful itself, and note that this comic is almost forty years old.

      They may not, but municipalities do. I have two kids in east coast public schools being my source, just as a heads up.

        Yeah, it’s pretty common for states, districts, administrators, and parents to misunderstand the students, their needs, and how best to address their needs. Teachers can have misunderstandings, too, but more often their failure to meet students’ needs comes from their hands being tied in various ways by the other groups. It’s pretty rare for them to pass the blame (publicly) since they’re much more focused on the immediate classroom issues in front of them.

        And all of this varies extremely widely in the U.S. since education is handled by the states with the only federal influence coming from stuff like asserting requirements in exchange for funding for (for example) low income meals.
