So your one of the reasons our kids don't read at grade level.
Yes, she forces their parents to divorce, forces kids to join gangs, sell drugs, live on cellphones, text all night, play video games continually, disrespect authority, not attend church, bully others, try alcohol and drugs at early ages, steal, cheat, and lie....
All of what you said is complete bullshit none of those keeps a student from learning with a competent teacher. It is amazing how many ways you progressives avoid responsibility.
Do you really believe each and every word of what you just posted? Do you truly think that any teacher, when confronted with a student who is under the influence, oppositional and defiant, spoiled in every other context and/or asleep will choose to be involved in any classroom experience? I concede that, possibly, a skilled instructor in a one-on-one environment might be able, eventually, to effect learning, but in a regular classroom setting, I don't think that even the best teacher can be assured of making any real progress there. Students have to meet us part of the way. When they choose not to, and not to be open to changing, what can any teacher do when there are 25 other people in the room?
Surely, this will smack some as being imbued with resignation and less than rigor but it is a practical reality divorced from political considerations.
