I could not agree more. I live in Illinois and happen to know a few teachers and they are by no means capable of diagnosing an illness let alone teaching a class. The funny thing is parents do not demand more. If we allow people who are borderline retarded to teach our children weather they teach them the best they possibly can or not there is no way the kids are getting the best education they could if we paid teachers a competent wage and required more be done to vest them. If you hire bad teachers you get bad students and I cant see any good or smart teachers working for what they are paid defeats them being smart. The government over stepping its boundaries is what has created the public lack of education system that and bad wages. If you want your children to be smart free thinkers pull them from public school as fast as you can. I have recently and you would not believe the change I have seen in m y daughter!
