Few flaws Most kids are too scared to ask for help and will not not get the help they need. In second grade, this one student teacher would not pick on me when I raised my hand for months. Kids how are special will be bullied and Most kids are forced into bullying too which is sad and kids won't stop.

Not enough teacher involvement at any level. Poor curriculum. I believe the teachers themselves try, but the school board and officials are obnoxious. 50% of the office staff are helpful, the other 50% care less, and would rather hassle a family then help them or show concern for your child.
