<<When I was teaching I found, and my wife finds too, that generally volunteers are more trouble than they're worth. They have to be planned for and scheduled in, they take time to train to do the job right, and then they show up when it's convenient. >>

Personal discipline and responsibility are the cornerstone of education. Our children are being raised without them. And our test scores show it.

These cornerstones are also the principal responsibility of parents, not teachers. Which makes one wonder if the roots of our educational crisis lie in the school or in the home.
