Being a retired Biology & Chemistry teacher myself I couldn't agree more with PatGreen. For far too long teachers and schools have allowed themselves to become a punching bag for malcontents who haven't set foot in an educational institution for decades and have some inner need to find a convenient political scapegoat for all the ills of society. Schools, like governments, are a reflection of that society. We get the government and schools we deserve, and talk and apathy won't get you much. I'd suggest those dissatisfied with them volunteer and instigate change from within. Perhaps by taking that old car down to the Auto Shop teacher at the Voc Tech and asking how you might get involved you might even affect positive change and get some kids involved in the hobby to boot. You might also gain some much needed understanding of and appreciation for the role of educational
institutions and those that work so hard there in preparing those who will be the citizens that determine the very future of our country.
