54. What if you're an algebra teacher and you can't teach...
...some students grade-level algebra because they don't know how to multiply or divide? Is that the algebra teacher's fault?

Or...somewhere down the line... did the student not learn to multiply and divide because they didn't have help at home, didn't care about doing homework, didn't value learning (maybe because they knew their family could never afford college anyway and just look at the state of our economy now!) ? The algebra test score is important. It shouldn't be the determining factor for the quality of a teacher.
