Quote:That actually took place 15 minutes from my house.

 

Awful situation but this incident doesn't diminish good work a lot of public schools in MD do. 

 

Continually bashing public school teachers just isn't right. There are bad teachers just like there are bad employees everywhere but to generalize all public schools as terrible is just wrong. There are a lot of amazing teachers in every county across the USA. Home school your kids if you want. Spend thousands of dollars to send them to private school. Be my guest. But millions of kids get great education across the USA from public schools. 

I don't know why you can't separate being disappointed with our current education system with supporting teachers.  The "vast right wing majority" support and empathize with the plight of the teacher.  The teacher's hands are tied with all of this standardized teaching and results based evaluation.  Remind us all again who supports the current system and who opposes it?
