IME, U.S. public schools do not have the child's interest at heart. Occasionally, a specific teacher might. Occasionally, a specific admin or support staffer might. But generally speaking, no.
And this is why, IMO, we need to reform the whole dang system. I tend to think it'll require fire and salting the earth, but I'm open to perhaps eliminating the salt.
