I just want to throw something out there... teachers are EMPLOYEES, who, by and large, work as directed by all kinds of administrators. If the entire system results arent to our satisfaction, we need to look at leadership, methods, and things like that. ALSO, teachers get the kids they get who are a product of the community. Would you say people care MORE nowadays about their children's academics, or LESS? The kids show up with whatever pre-education, interests, and values they learn AT HOME. Teachers can only do so much to bend the student's core values about learning and knowledge, and I'd say they by and large do a good job.

So, before you attack "da teachah's" look at these other more relevant influences of aggregate outcomes.
