Wow, Parents and teachers please. It can all be blamed on under budgeting and the teachers roles are becoming less personal and passionate and more about the pay and the retirement pension.
No offense, but I do believe that you've just proven yourself at least partially wrong. You just showed that when you apply yourself you actually can do a better job. :tongue:
Though I do agree that it is really a combination of all things that is to blame, so certainly in some part parents and the school systems are to blame. I wouldn't actually put it so much on the teachers themselves though. Where do you think the teachers get their attitude from? It is the system that is pushing
them down, which, in turn, pushes the students down.
You're both suffering from the same problem, whether you realize it or not. It's a problem that has to be fixed at the top. Believe it or not, teachers are people too. I bet if you took the time to work with them, you could revitalize their passion to some extent. Possibly you could even 'fight the system' together.
But then that would require you to be passionate about learning and improving the schools yourself. A passion which, sadly, most students lack.
