It seems everyone and their brother thinks that teaching is so easy......well then do it! I for one would be happy to have someone come in and see if they can do better! As I read this blog I am more convinced then ever that blaming teachers is not going to fix the educational problem. Parents parenting will be the difference in eduction and then students will be successful!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811638297838636919.post-51057680220441621442012-09-24T22:13:18.641-04:002012-09-24T22:13:18.641-04:00Kudos!

Donn flipflops way way too much to take anything he says for serious.<br /><br />Please keep up your rants, Mr. Crowley. I am pretty sure the right people are reading them. I am pretty sure you are pissing off a lot of people, which is good.<br /><br />You rock. I am pretty sure that has been said before.Old Repnoreply@blogger.com
