I did have some great teachers, too, as a kid, and of course I have plenty of friends who are teachers. I don't think teachers are bad or evil. I do think that when you have 25-30 kids of widely varying abilities in a room, plus social/emotional/physical issues, and a lot of stuff you're supposed to get through, and high-stakes testing hanging over your head... you can't do everything you might want to do to help individual students.
