Reply #42: I think there are students who are unteachable..

..but it's not the ones Mr. Bartol thinks. It's the ones whose parents never make the students do their homework, who indulge every whim of the child, who turn a feckless, selfish monster onto classrooms. The kids think they're God and any bad grade they get is the teacher's fault, not the fault of the child, who sits there and colors during class. I am a teacher and I'd rather have a million "unteachable" special needs kids willing to work and learn than a single "normal" kid who could give a damn.
