Do it for all

It seems that every time the city is in a mess three groups of workers are targetted to help bail them out. Policemen, firemen and teachers. The latter have been the butt of jokes, pressures and every imaginary criticism available. The entire City and State seem to depend on teachers for their existence. If the students dont do their home work blame the teachers, if the students come to school late or not at all blame it on the teachers, if the meals are not nutritious it is the teachers fault, if the child is not getting enough sleep.... and on and on. Dont even talk about the learning environment.The teacher is the classroom wizzard. He has to see everything that is happening in the class and be able to effect control.
I say put these decision makers to teach for one week in schools in the projects not the so called 'show schools'. Put them in a District 75 junior and High school and see how long they would survive. Maybe then they would have a greater appreciation of what some teachers face on a daily basis.
