It came from all of our members throughout this country. Help us to continue to build that reputation. The other day a friend told me that he thought that things were screwed up in this country because the teachers no longer acted as professionally as they once did. That is they don't wear suits and ties anymore, they go on strike, they are permitted to marry, etc. But, as a former teacher I disagreed.
Society now expects the schools to do more and more of the socialization of children.
It isn't just three R's anymore. Now the school is expected to do that which used to be done by parents. Values, which used to come to school with the child, are missing, and teachers are expected to provide that instruction as well. Increasingly, there is no stay at home parent to teach manners, responsibility, and such things to the children. Both parents are working outside the home to provide a higher level of income for the family.
