You've implied that all public school teachers are. But the ;-) showed I was also teasing with you.
And I understand your dedication. But the way things currently are in the classroom, it won't help those children whose parents feel there is no alternative, who don't understand or are indifferent to the poor quality of public education. The kinder path would be to walk away from a system that is so rotted. The sooner good teachers and support staff do, the sooner it will change or die.
You seem to have missed my point that in large part, the schools reflect the communities in which they are located, and I don't have time this morning to spend a lot of time on it - but it's true.
You seem to have had a really bad experience with the public schools in your area, though?
Too many are.

I understand communities with a lower tax base (poor), and with larger immigrant numbers (non-English speaking) are the example the Left caters too. But in Houston, for example, there is a Robin Hood method of tax distribution where wealthier school districts are required to give millions of their property taxes to school districts that tax at a lower rate. The effect being none have enough money to run the schools in the manner they've become accustomed to. The wealthier districts keep raising their rate and the locals are beginning scream. The bilingual education hasn't worked, unless employing more union workers can be classified as a successful education program.

I've probably had the average experience with public schools.
