I don't know that they are all trying to do their jobs well, unless there jobs are to stunt the children and put them in a tightly fitting box. If so, then they are doing an exemplary job! If not, teachers in the public schools really suck! If you are a teacher, than I am also one of your colleagues. I realized a long while ago that the current batch of teachers are not really teachers, rather, they are communist indoctrinators.
