I've been here a long time. Frequently I engage in conversations regarding the school systems. My objective is to make the school system better. In order to do that, it is necessary to identify the root causes of the decay. It is important to note that the teachers really are not the primary source of the destruction of the schools. The destruction is largely caused by parents and poorly reared pupils. While the news is full of weird things happening in school, those are actually isolated cases. Of course, the trends in education are not good and younger teachers appear to be nut cases. Even so, teachers didn't start the decay.
Fix the cause, not the symptoms.
...and yes, many Freepers are myoptic and pig-headed on this issue. As such, it won’t be likely that many of them will ever be part of a solution.
