He's right.  There are a few bad egg teachers, but the vast majority are  
good, really do care, and are just as frustrated (or even more so) than  
the rest of us.  It's the SYSTEM that's broken.
     I feel we need to have a school system where the teachers are far  
higher in the decision-making hierarchy than they are now.  The  
administration should be in more of a "support staff" role, to coordinate  
the work of the teachers and help provide the materials and resources  
(including a decent, I-can-survive-on-this salary) they need to help  
students learn.  Unfortunately, I don't see this happening any time soon  
unless the parents and other involved citizens raise enough of a fuss with  
the right people in the right way.
