They should allow her to go to class its the teachers that are stupid.

As the husband of a teacher, I'd like to point out it's not the teachers, it's the system.
1)It's a system that does not allow the teachers/principals to dole out punishment as needed, because it would "harm their fragile little minds and backsides" and get the school districts sued for child abuse.
2)It's the system that forces teachers to teach kids how to take and pass tests, not the actual subject matter, because if the kids don't pass the tests the districts lose money and the staff can loose their jobs.
3)It's the system that takes a large part of class time away from the teachers for the teaching of actual subjects and instead they have to teach kids how to pick a), b), c), or d) and how to guess at the right answers.
4)It's a system that forces teachers to deal with students who don't even speak English and massive amounts of money is spent to teach kinds in Spanish rather than put them in English-intensive classes where they will quickly learn English
5)It's a system that believes almost every child should be allowed into the next grade, whether the kid should be or not (we are talking people making it to Jr. High who should still be in 3rd or 4th grade).
6)It's a system that believes that every child deserves an A because otherwise it would harm their "self-image" (I'm exaggering a bit, but my wife has had parents call up asking for As for their kids to make their kids feel better)
7)It's a system geared not towards educating, but more towards making kids feel good about themselves
8)It's a system geared towards making the kids grow up unhealthy - recess has been cut down to nothing in many schools and the cafeterias serve junk food, and kids don't have to do as much PE as they used to.
9)It's a system gearded towards turning out little druggies. Rather than throw them out on playgrounds in the morning and afternoon like they used to, they instead drug them up with Ritalin/etc. so they sit there like mindless little zombies.
I've been around a lot of teachers, and there is a high turnover rate because teachers get so tired of not being able to teach the way they were 20 or 30 years ago. This is in Texas, I don't know about other states. Teachers get quite angry at the fact that they have little control of the classrooms - everything is handled at a higher level, and so they have to deal with students that 20 years ago would have been kicked out of the system or held back until they learned.

Some people here believe that they have this unique right to define this little bit of the Constitution the way they see fit, and not the way it's written.
