Yes moog, there are good teachers (as there are good priests) and you do hear about them. However, this situation needs to be addressed and dealt with.
How many stories of those good teachers do you hear about???? Not many, because it's not newsworthy. I agree that it needs to be dealt with and again, NOBODY despises it more than me. But then it is used as political fodder against education and to slander a lot of good people that I know are out there. That's what I don't like. I even feel moreso when the mainstream media slanders the military. I get even more upset then. It's funny that when a story supports our political cause we jump all over it and disregard those that don't (all from that SAME mainstream media).
Someone who posted a positive education story here would probably be pounced on.
