I know quite a few public school teachers and administrators. My daughter is a teacher. I resent the statements being made here and elsewhere denigrating them. They are true heroes, serving the children of this nation at great personal sacrifice and with more dedication than most of us here can muster in a lifetime of bitching on the internet.
Schools are imperfect and some teachers are not very good. But they do not, so far as all I know, have any agenda to enslave children nor make them tools of anyone. They suffer from overblown expectations, under funded budgets and an abysmal lack of parental contribution to their own children's education, much less that of non-parents.
The blame rests with those who complain and do nothing practical. Stop the bitching and go volunteer for teacher's aide or some other real contribution.
Phil,
If you notice my last posting...I've certainly made it clear that a very big part of Texas' education problems stem from our Legislation's systematic removal of teacher's playing a significant role in reform. They are the key to better education. Teachers in Texas are as much a victim as the children.
