“After more than a quarter of a century of declining school performances, the claim that educators have some mysterious ‘expertise’ which parents cannot grasp is a claim that is hard to take seriously.” -Thomas Sowell
[Parents have given too much deference to teachers. The common perception of teachers as heroes is too much ingrained in people. In reality, they are, by and large, simply people doing a job. Some few may have the concerns of their students at the forefront of their interests. But most of them either just want to get the job done, or are pursuing other less noble interests.]
