There's the teachers - trying to do their job in the way they know how -
there's the 'administration' - trying to provide the education in the way they believe it should be -
there's the parents (at least those who choose to be involved!) - trying to get the best education for their children.

SO many ways that those 'plans' can be thrown off track..........
