140. Teachers..
... are expected to solve societal problems that are well beyond their control. As my 7th grade math teacher used to say - "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink".

The effectiveness of the education someone gets is 75% their doing and 25% their teachers'. You cannot educate anyone who doesn't see the value of education and want an education.

Teachers are just the latest American scapegoat. "Liberals" have been effectively silenced, time to go after someone else.
