I think many people have a soured view of our educational system, and, sadly, those are the ones who voice negative opinions.
As an education major I have been in many different classrooms through observation requirements for graduation and have seen many wonderful teachers. Granted, there are those whom I've seen telling students to "shut up" and "knock it off." These teachers seem to be the burnt out ones who've stopped trying. I'm optimistic about the future of our schools because of the quality of training I have received and the enthusiasm I've seen in my peers.
Just remember, "The jar with the fewest beans rattles the loudest."
