    Why not blame the teacher? While it’s “never their fault” according to them, it normally is. That very refusal to take responsibility is a problem.

    Or it could be burn out…. years of dealing with children day after day.
    Personally, I have positive memories of many of my teachers.
    I can’t say the same thing for most of my classmates.

    I have a couple of favorite teachers, but many more that I didn’t like.

    Bureaucracy does not like it when people try something new


    If the new way works then the old way was wrong


    Who wants to admit they have been doing anything wrong and not done anything about it?

    So what else is new?
    part of a teacher’s job description is to break the kids’ spirits—from the very first day of school.

    Look out. Since Nov. 6, there’s lots more coming to an administration building near you.

    Ah, so YOUR one of those idiots who think it’s the SCHOOL’S responsibility to discipline and make your child learn — IT’S NOT YOUR DUTY AS A PARENT.

    You had doubts about Nab?

    Yes, the parents have to do their share, but they can only do so much. And as long as teacher’s unions fight to prevent the administration from firing anybody, even when they’re clearly incompetent, the parents (and students) are stuck unless the family can afford to put them in a private school where they can demand that their children get the education they’re paying for. (How many teachers let their own kids go to a public school? Damned few, I gather.)

    I can speak from experience: Your school can have the greatest subs in the world, who can actually achieve rapport with the kids and get them to do stuff beyond makework, work with faculty to keep their kids on track — and all it takes is one administrator with a bug up his @$$ to screw it all up. My wife and I used to be such subs until one — JUST ONE, mind you — assistant principal decided we were too good and had us run off.
