Teachers under fire for "failing" to stuff student brains with basic skills? The true roots of this debate: teachers threaten wage-slave society. Teachers help develop people who think. Wealthy bosses want cheap interchangeable labor units that never complain -- slightly intelligent donkeys, scared & defenseless.
Teachers are thus subversive.
Teachers also have long vacations, giving them more leisure to look around & to understand their community's financing is threatened by arrogant parasites.
