My wife is a teacher in TX. She would be the first to tell you we need accountablity, but the No Child Leave Behind (or as her fellow teachers call it every child takes it in the behind.) is not the answer. The are forced to teach the test not the subject. She tries to give as much more as she can, but it is difficult.

It's always nice to meet someone who understands rather than just blames teachers for every malady known to mankind.

90% of he teachers I have ever met do the best they can with whatever they have. My family buy school supplies out of our own pocket. They care and go the extra mile for the kids. The problem in education is the administration, not the teachers
