I have seen (been exposed) to good and not so good teachers but I think it demonstrates a high level of ignorance to generalize that (some) teachers are stupid.

Teaching is a thankless job that in most school systems requires a masters degree and starting salary is marginal at best. I wish we had a system that held the administration more accountable for the material taught in our schools and had the teeth to remove those teachers who are truly doing a poor job at their profession. There are many high quality teachers who have chosen this career, I'm sure that had they chosen another career they might very well be making more money. But then again, money is not everything.

As has been stated many time before on this BB, there are good ________'s and there are bad _______'s, no system is perfect.
