Especially in urban settings, there are many teachers who need to retire or find other careers that do not involve children. I have had the pleasure of working with some wonderful teachers but I have also faced teachers that were bitter, uncaring, and lazy. I believe the blame for a poor education is a shared cause between the home and the schools.<br /><br />In Chicago, schools are actually dangerous; children are killed weekly on their way to school or at school. How does a child concentrate on education when they fear for their lives? I say this just to add that the community also needs to share in the cause of poorly educated children.<br /><br />I agree, in this day and age it is not easy to be a teacher and all teachers need our support. I also know, it is not easy to be a parent in the best of circumstances and parents need to be appreciated and supported as well.<br /><br />Captain Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00952134598592565830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510641213128317061.post-5185619804719407932012-08-20T22:23:51.551-05:002012-08-20T22:23:51.551-05:00Secondary Roads, I try to believe that at some poi...Secondary Roads, I try to believe that at some point someone who is in charge will figure out that giving power back to teachers will solve a lot of problems. <br /><br />I saw on Vanilla's blog that the long-time blogging buddies group had a great pow-wow at your place. :)Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12222653231278680963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510641213128317061.post-4428346095287165162012-08-20T22:17:36.410-05:002012-08-20T22:17:36.410-05:00Vanilla, I get really steamed when teachers are bl...Vanilla, I get really steamed when teachers are blamed for things they can't control.<br /><br />Nicholson is right, people can't handle the truth.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12222653231278680963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510641213128317061.post-80779287982640401862012-08-20T11:39:09.316-05:002012-08-20T11:39:09.316-05:00You are not alone in your convictions on this matt...You are not alone in your convictions on this matter.Secondary Roadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05116234285533139701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510641213128317061.post-27322812841157350792012-08-20T10:29:12.649-05:002012-08-20T10:29:12.649-05:00Well, then.

I mean, you are absolutely and totally right, and the truth, as Jesus told us, will set us free. But as Jack Nicholson said, (people) can't handle the truth.<br /><br />And so, the hands of the educators remain tied. *sigh*vanillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978025976591113499noreply@blogger.com
