The public school system in Virginia has MAJOR internal problems and until they’re addressed all the funding in the world isn’t going to matter one bit. When a Teacher can’t teach because he/she has to call for help to break up fights and you have outright criminal behavior going in inside schools then Virginia children aren’t going to be able to learn.
