Some of the viral videos show dilapidated bathrooms without toilet paper or working toilets.

Mrs. Vegaaaaaa these kids are currently going to SCHOOLS! Get to it NOW and stop excusing this crap… in Miami that wouldn't fly.
👂 🛑 Ask the leaders of PR who’s mismanaging the dollars 💵 ask them where’s the money 💰
Its nothing new its been like this since the 70s ,the truth is the government steals all the federal money they get from the states & thats the plain truth.😮
Here in Guam we have the same exact problems. We are also a US territory and our politicians are also a joke.
@The Kids👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 GREAT!!! JOB! 🤗🤗🤗EXPOSING!!!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
They should ask JLO for help. I'm sure she'll be happy to help.
ONE CUBA
I'm the author of EIGHT DAYS IN AN INNER CITY SCHOOL please say something about the out of control OCCUPATIONAL LICENSING for k-12 teachers in this country that is why we have teacher shortages
Sadly it’s not only schools that look like this. There are hospitals in these kinds of conditions as well. Too much corruption in our government and politicians pocketing money meant for education.
I went to school in Puerto Rico on 2009 and it’s been like this for YEARS. I remember having no AC in classrooms in the middle of summer.
We hear you and We will get in touch with the Biden Administration. No students Should be going through this outrage scenario. The school is to educate students, not abandon them. We love you and Keep posting.
THEIR POLITICIANS stole all of that Money.. 😢
People say it corruption in Puerto Rico but its not. Its American Racism in action. Read Puerto Ricos Constitution. You will be horrified what America wrote in it.
So true.
so sad how corrupt those islands are.
This is the usa? 😮😮😮😮
They'll end up getting expelled like the taco bell chick that got fired for exposing food safety issues lol 😅😅😅
Russia doesn’t look like this.
Growing up in P.R. I remember leaking roof watter falling on my desk
