She fled the war in Ukraine but failed to find a safe haven in SF middle school (sfchronicle.com)

Not a single picture of her classmates or school, even from far or blurred or anything.

is this experience typical or rather exceptional? (are there any studies?) Compared to German system (which has its own problems) this sounds very very bad.

Her mother should consider going back to Europe. Cheaper prices and better schools compared to SF.
