As wintertime vociferously points out, the individual teachers are not the heart of the problem ... even the ones screwing the students. They are a symptom of the pathologies inherent in a government-run organization. For example, most teachers aren’t total fools: they would be teaching phonics and addition facts, if the system did not mandate less-functional forms of teaching.
my little grandson’s teacher actually rolled her eyes at my daughter when she was talking to her...when his hair was cut (all over his head) they circled the wagons and would not tell us what happened.. she has half her students sitting with their back to her. they are sending kids home with 40 pounds of homework in their back packs with instructions for the parent to teach them...there is most certainly something wrong with the schools..some of the teachers i know have said they vote dem because dems support their unions and the get more benifits...(was said when clinton was in office). I asked them what clinton did for them and they could not tell me...thats when i said ...I pay taxes so i am giving you all these things...i got told that was total bs.
