So I was called in to sub late this morning at our local rural elementary school

20. In regard to teachers I have only my own experience to draw upon, but that experience

is contrary to that assertion. I have worked for 3 school districts on a professional level, but not the teachers.

K-12 (we moved often, so I had a lot of different teachers) and 6+ years post-secondary, I've had three exceptionally good ones and more than 20 terrible ones ranging from merely incompetent to horribly abusive, with the rest falling into the OK category. Of course, that was my experience and it was long ago, but see no evidence in the results achieved since that time that makes me think it is gotten any better.

Edited to add: I'm completely on the side of the teachers in the current program to destroy our public education system. I didn't want to give the impression that I favor what has been going on this last 14 years or so.
