My wife is a teacher in the Dallas area. She CARES about her job and is growing more frustrated every year. One of her biggest obstacles is No Child Left Behind.
It's a fine ideal, but in practice its a disaster. Now if a kid is disruptive or flat doesn't care about passing, they are not allowed to get rid of the problem. The most she can do is move them to another school. so the bad kids just get shuffled around. She has retarded or autistic kids mixed in. The retarded and autistic need to be educated if possible, but mixing them in with other kids is stupid. They need special settings and much more time than a teacher has available.
It's not all the systems fault though. Parents seem to not be involved anymore. When she has perent teacher night she is ecstatic of more than 2 or 3 parents show up. The parents don't seem to care.
She also has a 20 year old in her class that is a FRESHMAN? WTF?

Thanked: 18Hard to blame the parents for not being more involved with their kid's education when it takes at least two full-time jobs just to keep a roof over their heads, food in their bellies and clothes on their backs. They just don't have the time or energy to keep up with it.

Thanked: 18An even more excellent idea! Let's put the poor in prison for being poor! After all, they wouldn't be poor if they'd just follow Crotalus' brand of common sense, right?
Moralizing is so much fun. It's too bad it doesn't ever accomplish anything or help anybody, and is usually wrong in the first place.
