4. Any parent who thinks adding profit is good for their child's education

Is a frickin' idiot!

And whenever I hear a parent railing against their child's teacher it usually is that their special snowflake is not getting special attention. They forget that when a teacher has 30+ students in the room, at widely varying academic and language levels, all sorts of major behavior problems, and no more teacher aides because that budget was cut long ago or parent volunteers because they're all at work, then it's pretty damn hard to give special attention to anyone. I've seen very very few bad teachers and it's usually when they are forced to teach a class they are ill-suited for such as a coach teaching math because no one else would.
