I also agree that the teachers that are just marking time in their job need to go. The years that my kids had teachers that were engaged and loved doing what they do, they did really well and enjoyed school, but there were a few years, with a few REALLY bad teachers and it was awful to get through. As a parent it's really hard to encourage your kids and try to keep them positive through a bad school year. Definitely leaves a bad taste toward teachers after going through that. This becomes even worse in high school, where the crop of teachers who don't GAS seems to be much much larger. I wish I had kept track of the number of movies, etc. that both my boy watched during high school years, it seemed ridiculous.
So thank you to those teachers that care and love their jobs, you are always remembered by kids and parents alike, and forever appreciated.
