But these teachers are a distinct minority. The majority of the teachers I encountered in elementary, middle and high schools drank apathy for breakfast. It's sad.

Standards to be admitted to teachers college are almost as low as the salaries that come with the job. Both should be rectified. Because you always will remember those handful of teachers who made a difference, but with that, you had to suffer through the incompetent, awkward and/or creeps who just wanted the summers off.

But I also have to say something in defense of the classrooms; at least where I live, it depends a lot on what you make of it. Whether you take the easiest path or a more challenging one, whether you use your creativity to deliver work above average, whether you try to get deep into the problem and thoroughly unterstand it or just consume given solutions, wether you respect the teacher because you know he has something you want, and yet have to work for, as knowledge or skills. It's all up to you, basically. eva Very true.

I mean, other than the obvious social benefits of going to grade, middle and high school. Do you think school in general is totally pointless or simply that its importance is overstated?
