For which she was chased out of school rather than offered dialogue, so it sounds as though in this case she may have been partly right. And also, the teachers did not shoulder the blame here, they made sure that a 13 year old kid did for daring to criticise and judge them in an essay. And that is appalling.
- jakejake 14y agoTo be fair she basically called her teachers modern-day slave drivers. She is right that something stinks, but the problem is a lot more complex than that. She also should do some research on how parental involvement affects education. The school isn't going to be able provide an education if the students (or their parents) aren't equally involved. Nobody gives you an education. This gets into more complex issues such as families that have to work multiple jobs and don't have time, single parents who are overloaded with work, generations who have been conditioned to dislike education, etc. Teachers are not all paid that well and it's not too hard to see them loose their passion of they feel like their work isn't even appreciated. The school reacted terribly as well. I know nothing about the school but if it is really that bad then hopefully the parents will get involved and start demanding better education for their kids.
