Nearly every time I'm in that room I try to fill the tank back up during nap time. But its a losing battle

Do you dechlorinate the water?

I work at a day care that has a pretty crap betta tank. The lady over that class is great with the kids, not so great with fish. I wouldn't assume someone would do a bad job with children based on a fish tank.
I come in during my lunch break once a week and clean out her tank for her since she doesn't know anything about fish. Maybe offer to help them learn the proper way to care for the fish.
Yeah, but there's ignorance, and then there is just plain apathy. Even someone completely ignorant of the nuances of fish care would realise that fishtanks generally should be full of water all the time, and that the filter intake needs to be beneath the surface of the water if it's to work properly. This poor tank screams of no fucks given.
The woman really has ran out of fucks to give. Her kids are out of control. The subs call it the hell room. When she's in there she's on the phone. The room is a disorganized mess.
Yes it does. Maybe OP can talk her into not keeping the fish any longer.
