I agree with much of your post. It really has to be a partnership between teachers and parents with good direction from the local school board. There are problems that should be addressed and resolved like too much money spent on administration which would be better spent in classrooms and the inability to get rid of bad teachers due to the teacher's unions and NEA lobbying. As an example, on my son's first day of school (1st grade - in a town we have since moved from), his teacher sent home a note which was replete with spelling and syntax errors. Now maybe you don't need an advanced English degree to teach first graders but you do need to know how to spell and the difference between "their" and "there". The school board rep. in my district said the administration was aware of the problem with this teacher but since she showed up every day and was conscientious they were concentrating on teachers with more serious problems because it was such a hassle to get rid of a teacher. Go figure! JLA
