<p>if its THIS math problem, well, its a stupid problem that is unclear and poorly written</p>
<p>sometimes, its the problems that are dumb, not the students</p>
<p>look at some of the textbooks forced upon our teachers and look at NCLB- it didn’t help any</p>
<p>if you want to blame teachers for the erosion of our education system, that is just wrong</p>
<p>its the funding, its the support, its the taking away program after program</p>
<p>but of course don’t put any blame where it matters- to the feds for forcing programs on schools and then not funding them</p>
<p>I find it offensive to blame all teachers for this and pretty shallow thinking</p>
