Teachers will complain about absolutely every change that's imposed on them. Perhaps it's because there isn't really an undeniable way to know what's good and what's bad (unlike most jobs where profits make that clear) so every teacher assumes what they're doing it good and any change must therefore be bad. Or maybe it's just a job that attracts people with that kind of personality.

> Teachers will complain about absolutely every change that's imposed on them. Often for good reason. Remember "new math"? Most of my math textbooks as a kid had things about ordinality and arithmetic in non-base 10 (generally base-12--why?--I have no idea) down as far as like Grades 4 or 5. It turns out that if you don't have a very clear grasp of your own arithmetic, you can't change bases very easily. Teachers who have been around for 20+ years have seen bad education fads through several cycles.
