Re:As a high school senior... (Score 1)

The problem with what you say there at the end is that most of those teachers who know when to ignore rules and when not to get fired in the end. I've watched it happen to three seperate teachers at my old high school, the only people there who knew what they were teaching beyond what the book said.

So long as the people in charge of a school don't know what is best for a child's education, that child will be encouraged to have a poor education. It's sad and terrible, but it's also the painful truth.
