(3) Many school buildings were fire hazards waiting to happen.
(4) Teachers were not required to have four year degrees. Many teachers had one or two years of college for preparation.
(5) Schools did not recognize factors like poverty, hunger, health, etc in educating children. Well, more precisely, they recognized it, but did nothing to try to address it.
That's her opinion.

Hind site, nature progression. It wasn't the school responsibly back then. So what your saying is all schools should be same. Then, private schools should be outlawed so all things are equal.

Life will NEVER be fair. All things will not be equal.
