Spartacus is absolutely corrrect about the poor quality of teachers and the even poorer quality of parenting. It is up to parents to instill a respect for education and the expectation that the student will perform in school. Except for some minority groups, this is not often done. As a teacher who retired 17 years ago, I remember being told by “gifted” students that they were in school to see their friends. Schools, the Department of Education, and parents should acknowledge that not all children can learn at the same rate….or, for some, even learn at all. Every child should not expect to go to college; some should be trained for various trades.
