My mom was dealing with this in the 60's. Parents were very involved in local politics, she even had a teacher friend of hers brag to her on how they were reshaping students minds to discard parental influence......teachers have promoted what they deal with in their class...I have no sympathy for them.....It is a sad statement that our public education has deteriorated to the point that millions of families have resorted to homeschooling.
Teachers having to become disciplinarians instead of educators... How can a teacher teach in an environment where the children do not behave and do not listen? I have a friend who is a teacher in the 2nd grade in a p.s. and she tells me that the parents in her district do not care. They don't even sign and send back the permission slips so that his/her child can go on a field trip. Not to even mention the bureaucracy. Most teachers I know hate their job.
I think there needs to be a complete overhaul and Florida mandating virtual schools is a start. Let there be all types of schooling -- virtual schools, private schools, charter schoolers, homeschooling. Give parents choices. Let's not keep putting money into a failed system.
1. The educrats who have taken control of 'education' are not the teachers, they are Liberals/Leftists who control the teachers with huge pay increases, and parents by putting little Johnny on a pedestal no matter his work nor his behavior.
2. With no other option for teaching....what should they do.
3. To see what controls the profession, take a gander at this:
"The California Federation of Teachers (CFT) passed a resolution at its most recent convention claiming that “the continued unjust incarceration of Mumia Abu-Jamal represents a threat to the civil rights of all people.” Thirty years ago, Abu-Jamal took away Philadelphia policeman Daniel Faulkner’s foremost civil right: his life. How obtuse of the CFT to disregard “the threat to the civil rights of all people” represented by someone capable of gunning down a man tasked with protecting the public.
The pantheon of leftist saints includes the Haymarket Square bombers, responsible for the deaths of eight Chicago cops, Joe Hill, murderer of former police officer John Morrison in Salt Lake City, Huey Newton, murderer of Oakland policeman John Frey, and Leonard Peltier, murderer of FBI agents Jack Coler and Ronald Williams. Notice a pattern?"

4. If there were voucher and a robust alternative system for teachers and for parents, thing would be different.
5. I have a number of friends who teach in the public schools, and feel as we do.
And I do have sympathy for them.

Football coaches teach academic courses in off season and schedules are arranged so that the players will take a course with a coach-teacher. The athletic department runs many high schools.teachers are given little or no methods to control a class....you are 2nd guessed by the admin then if the parents come and say little sallie is sorry....note the parents not the student then they are put back in the class...and heaven forbid they be a star football player who cannot read nor write but can run a football...heaven forbid you fail that student.
Bet your ass.
I was out of the running for a very good full time post because I refused to pass a kid who couldn't READ but who could stuff a basketball though a hoop, once.
Sports are part of the problem of why our schools are failing, now, folks.
Football in particular has problem done more to destroy history education (at one point 50% of a high school football coaches were history teachers..mostly those coach/teachers suck at the teaching part of their jobs) than any other sport, but they're ALL a menace to education in my opinion.

Self-selection bias is a term I am certain you are unfamiliar with. Your record is simply one of failure to understand that comparing a small number of home-schoolers as being a homogeneous group when compared to public school student is simply invalid.
I suggest a college level statistics course. I teach math every day. What is your excuse?
This shouldn't surprise anyone but I thought I would post it anyway. Public schools are failing miserably in this country.

Another thing to consider in regards to High School preparing students for college is that most students do not need to go to College. Take a look at the following graph. It shows that more and more students are going to college, except the increase in not surprisingly in un-needed areas. If every single student goes to college, the areas with the largest increase will be in fluff subjects. Public schools have a ridiculous number of faculty and no discipline.

"Why So Many Non-Teaching Employees in Pittsburgh Schools? - Allegheny Institute for Public Policy"
"All told, the ratio of administrative employees to students more than doubled over the decade."
All they need are teachers and a principal for occasional beatings.

You are having terminology issues.
You said "schools" and "faculty". Most of the people mentioned in your linked article are NOT faculty in any way, shape, or form! Many administrators and clerical personnel are employed by the school districts, and have no connection to the schools.
Corporal punishment in schools is long dead.

Call them faculty or employees or servants if you like. They are an expense.
