Reply #37: It's absurd that we blame teachers. [View All]

[RobofSWVA]

More often than not it's the student's lack of effort that is causing the problem. Next I would suggest looking to the parents and seeing what sort of home life is being provided. We've been blaming teachers for far too long because they are easy targets. While there are poor educators out there, I say falling education standards are by and large the result of spoiled and unmotivated students and bad parenting. We need to stop looking for the easy fix and put blame where it is due.
