If a child cannot make change at your local McDonalds, why would it be the teacher's fault? A child is at school 7 hours a day and with his/her family the other 17. The teacher bashing gets a little old sometimes. When do the parents have responsibilities?

are you trying to tell me that it is not the place of a teacher to teach kids simple basic math skills?...

If you have a captive audience 7 hours a day for 6 years, and the "captive audience" cannot read, write, spell, or do simple arithmetic, you can DAMN well bet it is the teacher's fault!!
