That is true of ANY situation where you have volunteers.

I see it more with "professionals." Everyone I've known teaching at church or working with Scouts has been doing their best.

The *big problem* with RE, in my opinion, is that parents are half-hearted about their faith. I suppose getting the children to a class, most of the time, is *something*, but it's not much.

I guess I've seen some slackers -- too many people around here are just out to pad their resumes. Or treat the organization as a social club rather than doing their work.

But dedicated volunteers who know their stuff DO try their best and are usually pretty good. Our BSA troop and our Venture crew are full of good volunteers.
