I agree with most of what you said regarding the failure of the public school. I do not understand why so many societies think that cramming hundreds of kids in one building would produce quality education. I believe children get abused by their peers more than they do by their parents. If you can find statistics to back that up it would help. I am a substitute teacher and many teachers do try. I hate to see bad teachers hurt for good teacher.

To be a teacher one must need to have multiple disciplines. They have to be good communicators, strong command in their personalities to manage and control class behavior, knowledge of core subjects, knowledge of 20 or more student’s abilities and backgrounds, correction and grading of papers, keeping kids from abusing each other, and answering to ignorant administrators.

It should be easier to fire bad teachers. Thanks to the NEA and unions it is impossible. Government needs to stay out of all education. As long as these public schools do exist it would better to divide the class by ability so the smarter kids can benefit with no one holding them back.
