True, their are good teachers but you are outnumbered and the politics of your profession are entangled with government intervention and agenda driven $$ for your administration. They sold their children's needs for kickbacks and padded pensions. That money comes from parents working everyday to provide. It's not free. We will pay you. But in exchange we wanted our children taught to survive in this world. It was your duty to show them the path. And yes, their are poor and bad parents who do not hold up their end of the bargain. My friend is a school teacher and I am stunned by what parents do.
