Sadly, that is so true.

That's always a problem but in public schools today it's more that consistently poor teachers are unaccountable.

[quote]That's always a problem but in public schools today it's more that consistently poor teachers are unaccountable.[/quote] The only issue here is, often teacher's jobs rely on the passing rate of their kids. When they're up for review, which is every couple of years, at least in my state, the board is concerned with how many kids they are passing. And when you have a broad spectrum of kids, from stupid to smart (read as: from no effort to more effort), how is a teacher suppose to reach that quota while still effectively teaching the entire spectrum? It's a conundrum that starts with expecting less of kids I feel. However, we could only expect more of kids of our teachers could proficiently teach without having to worry about their jobs.

While that's certainly an issue, I wouldn't say it's "more" of an issue. Helicopter parenting and the demand to set standards so low that everyone is a "winner" hinders a student's performance as they don't adequately learn how to be self sufficient. I do agree though that the aforementioned along with things like relatively high job security (last in, first out), relatively low pay and little support from school boards leads to some teachers becoming a bit too comfortable while lacking incentive to perform well.

What's helicopter parenting?
-
Where the parents constantly "hover around their kids" to the point of being overbearing. Basically, there's two main types: [i][b]Over-protective[/b][/i] Parents that are always around to shield their child from danger, coddle them and/or fight their battles for them, such as a parent sitting in the back of a classroom "in case my child needs me" and scolding other children for things they feel may offend their own (such as not sharing). [i][b]Controlling[/b][/i] "Tiger mom" like parents who plan out every aspect of their child's life then leave little room for the child to deviate from the plan. This can lead took parents A) becoming agressive (either verbally or physically) towards the child when they don't meet expectations or towards outside parties who they feel aren't giving their child adequate instruction or credit. Looking out for your kids and setting standards are good things. "Helicopter parenting" is used to describe when it's taken to the extreme.
