It is not the TEACHERS who are the problem here; it is our SOCIETY.

The "SOCIETY" is the product of generations of teachers. The deliberate dumbing down of America has been a steady and intentional process that for the most part was cheered by the teachers' unions and implemented for grant money. It was planned from the very beginnings of public education. So was "sexual education," that bred the "SOCIETY" you bitch about now (a nebulous attribution invented to avoid accountability). You may not be individually guilty, but collectively, there is no group in America more deserving of misapprobation for the multi-generational damage done than public school teachers' unions. The whole system needs to be devoloved. Here's how.

BTW, those links are enough to keep you busy for about a month.

My reference to SOCIETY was directed at the original poster's assertion that teachers today are simply pussies who won't stand up to students physically and stop the bellicosity that rules many of our schools' hallways. I used it as a reference as to why we CAN'T use physical force in reaction to students without fear of lawsuits/arrest these days as society won't even condone spanking unruly children without a visit from CPS.

I hope that clears up my intent...
