With several million teachers, you know there are going to be a few bad apples. The real crime is that it has become so hard, almost impossible, to get rid of bad teachers.Henry Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03097237237859928969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18436046.post-80148667667647967242010-02-12T17:17:09.676-08:002010-02-12T17:17:09.676-08:00In fairness, we need to be careful that we don'...In fairness, we need to be careful that we don't use scandalous teacher stories to label all teachers as malicious brutes.<br />I can believe that homeschooling is a great option (that is sometimes done poorly or not at all by "homeschoolers) and I can also believe that the structure of schools often leaves many students' needs unmet (while also believing that most teachers are kind people who do care about their students).Sebastianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04009107720601931341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18436046.post-47656237209201159572010-02-12T15:55:36.397-08:002010-02-12T15:55:36.397-08:00I admit that I was kind of holding my breath, wait...I admit that I was kind of holding my breath, waiting for the news to identify their religious affiliation.
