I know that teachers are only part of the equation, but if the results aren't there, they aren't earning their pay. A 48% failure rate doesn't cut it.
A teacher is not a miracle worker. They teach but if the student just won’t learn or doesn’t want to learn there’s nothing they can do. A standard class is around 30 students. If the class time is forty-five minutes how much individual time do they have for each one? Also, where are the parents? Don’t you think they have a vested interest in making sure their kids know the material as well? Fortunately I was home schooled so I didn’t have that problem. From what I’ve been reading about school curriculum is basically the kids are bored with it all and don’t want to learn. There’s two sides to the story.
