I wasn't offended. There ae lots of things wrong with our education system. Don't get me started on No Child Left Behind. But very few of them have to do with the teachers. I've been teaching for 13 years. I've never worked with anyone who didn't honestly want to do the best by the kids. Sometimes we're wrong about what's best.

I truly wish parents had to take classes before they could become parents. It's a huge responsibility and I've seen over the years a lot of parents who didn't want to be bad parents (who does?) but who had lost control of their kids. Or refused to see that their kids are responsible for their own actions and hold them accountable.

I really see that as a major breakdown in the education sytem.
