The problem is really not with the teachers but with the legislators (and other relevant government) who take the easiest and least expensive path (for them). They (and the corporations who heavily influence them) don't really want well rounded citizens. They want employable people who can be minimally trained (read, compute, follow directions) to do the labor of the corporations and government. It's a sad state of affairs and it frustrated me greatly as an educator.<br /><br />Parents (not all but many) are also part of the problem. Too many of them want what they knew as school and resisted change. Many also resisted homework and discipline or any of their own involvement in their children's education.<br /><br />I am so frustrated with teachers being blamed for the problems. Teachers have very little power. The problems are further up the ladder.DeniseCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18734696.post-64632597645411621192011-03-01T17:17:52.965-08:002011-03-01T17:17:52.965-08:00Yes. I agree.Yes.
