Addendum

I should note that my previous post was not intended as an attack on teachers. The education system has been mismanaged for decades, with teachers being swamped with an excess of bureaucracy, and being forced to jump to whatever trendy new educational scheme our government decide to impose.

Add to that parents who don't care, and kids who seem determined not to learn, and teachers really don't have a chance. Frankly, it's a miracle that as many kids learn as much as they do in our schools.
