The sad thing is that these morons (the teachers) want to blame Bush for their failures. Its all the no child left behind acts fault.

Public school math teacher chiming in here. (one of the morons I guess)
NCLB has only added red tape for schools. The more time we spend with red tape the less we spend with kids. I know politicians mean well but they only make things worse when they legislate. Non-public schools have less red tape. They usually also have more parents that care than public schools, resulting in a higher than average group that twill try harder.
You can't legislate that kids and parents that will try harder and care more. Teachers keep doing more and more and the kids seem to do less and less. The harder teachers work - the less the kids work. We are in a cycle of society where we "owe" some people a good life even if they are not too productive. Some of the kids have a poor homelife, some have a single parent that can't do a good job alone, some have parents that don't care at all, some kids have parents that have an "attitude" so it is no wonder that the students have an attitude.
Please don't blame the schools for society's ills. In some countries only the kids who do well in school progress to the next level. In some countries they RESPECT teachers a lot more than say pro athletes. Our problem isn't with "us moron teachers" but rather with our society as a whole.
