<It seems to me that too much is expected of teachers. School districts have become more and more hands off in regards to specific instructional requirements. If we want our kids to have a consistant, quality education we need to have a system for developing and implementing a curriculum that is not made up on the fly by teachers who have new textbooks and teaching materials dumped on them at the last minute by districts that can't decide what they want to do.>

My response to this is simple. That is how everybody works today. Don't we all have to "implement a plan", "change the paradigm", and "focus on adapting"? No less should be expected of teachers, are they not college educated professionals like the rest of us?

I do not feel that a standardized plan or any other pancea will solve the education issue. Has a goverment mandated system ever solved anything?

Instead, a voucher system ought to be put in place, and private industry will pick up the slack. It is already thriving in many states, and sure, the poor get the shaft on this issue. All the good teachers get sucked out of public schools and paid 2x as much in private, but (I'm gonna catch hell on this one), their kids were to problem in the first place.
