I MUST AGREE Many of my closest friends are or were teachers. We get in to many almost heated discussions about the failure of our education system. Almost to a person they are Left wing.
I don't have the solution to our education system but throwing more money to the teachers union
IS NOT THE ANSWER.
We had several exchange students from Japan and from Europe and they all said that our schools was not the place for getting any education.
