A bit ridiculous, no?
What you and the other ranters fail to understand is that teachers teach what the school district dictates they teach. Don't like it? Then go to a school board meeting and demand change.
I have absolutely no ear for whining about teachers because school boards are the most local of politics. You want to make a change...then get involved in the process and demand a change. It is very easy to go to a school board meeting and speak up. It is also very easy to get on the ballot to be elected to a school board.
The dark truth, though, is that many parents just don't care. They don't help Johnny with his homework, let alone go to a school board meeting and see what is going on.
A very sad truth that needs to be repeated.
I absolutely HATE attending school board meetings, I really and truly do. However, as a parent my child's education is my responsibility and part of that responsibility is paying attention to what is going on and speaking up if I have a problem or a question. The principal at my daughter's elementary school loves me, the school district staff hate me :)

Oh come on!!
It's so much MORE FUN to b!tch about people then to actually DO something constructive!
