I read a large swathe of teachers are threatening to strike if they are forced to do their fucking jobs this fall.
This may be a good time to convert many traditional schools to Charter Schools. Charter Schools–at least the one I personally saw–involve individual learning on computers with a circulating instructor or two that you can ask questions of. The same job could be done better at a fraction of the cost and without the need for the teachers.
En masse, our teachers have been failing us for at least fifty years. There are no doubt some admirable and even saintly individuals in their masses, but the overwhelming average is depressingly low, and that lazy idiots are allowed to subsist at the expense of our kids, our collective future, and taxpayer expense is really beyond dispute.
