There are, of course, teachers that lack interest or skills to teach effectively. But there are also many teachers who are well skilled who's lives revolve around only the best interests of their students. Unfortunately, many students come from subcultures where failure is not only accepted but actually expected. Others come from troubled homes, or have language barriers or other problems that get in the way of education. The best answer for all these problems is vouchers. Let parents decide where their children go to school, while encouraging schools (public and private) to improve so they win their "share" of vouchers. Such a system would probably result in the public schools having most of the problem children. That would allow the public schools to concentrate efforts and resources on those students, which could only be beneficial to both problem and non-problem students. The liberals, however, will never let this happen, because it would take the majority of students out of public schools where liberals can indoctrinate them so well.
