I hate to "blame the teachers", but the quality of teachers has fallen so hard and so far. Most teach because they aren't qualified for any other job that requires a college degree. I'm shocked they were able to obtain a so-called masters degree!
My son had a teacher once who did not know how many states the US had, thought Ben Franklin was a former president, would constantly misspell words, etc. I could go on. And no, she wasn't some brilliant math teacher who just wasn't American.
Every once in a while, my kids will have one who is great, and they are usually people who could be successful doing other things in life but have such a passion for teaching.
And don't get me started on principals and administrators. They are even worse. The fish stinks from the head.
