Retiring this month after teaching for 26 years, Clinton nailed it. In all my years, motivation has always been the most critical part of teaching. But when more and more kids come to school not caring, a lack of motivation, aren't the parents guilty of not preparing their children? I don't care what a teacher tries. It has become much more difficult to reach these kids. Extremely unfair to blame teachers, who are busting their butts in a very stressful situation.
