[QUOTE="remm, post: 232014, member: 821"] Teachers are in a tough position these days. Dam standardized testing means they have to try to get every kid to a certain minimum for the school to achieve their requirements for awards/funding etc. Problem with that is the vast majority of the teachers time is spent trying to get a few of the kids that for whatever reason- lazy, bad home life, just plain not smart- to get up to the acceptable level at the expense of the rest of the class. The kids that are smarter, more motivated, willing and able to go on to bigger and better things aren't given the resources to excel as they are already at the "good enough" to pass the exams. Hate to say it to you snowflake/liberal parents, but not every kid is going to be valedictorian. Reminds me of when we lived in GF and son played hockey at 3-4 years old. Every goddam parent in the rink thought their kid was gonna play for Sioux. It's by the book liberal/social thinking. Try to get all the kids to think they are equal and life is fair for everyone, that way nobody will ever work any harder than anyone else and life will be glorious and everyone will be rich. But I digress, sorry to get off topic. I wouldn't last a month trying to be a teacher, thank you to those who do and make a difference in kids lives. Unfortunately there are bad teachers out there too, just like bad cops, bad doctors, bad priests etc that keep f'ing things up for the rest of us. ;:;rant [/QUOTE]
