Brought to you of course by the intellectual titans of Alberta industry. While they may collectively have zero classroom experience, they fortunately do have decades of experience criticizing a profession they know nothing about from the safety of their keyboards, ensconced in ivory towers far away from the frontlines and all those germ ridden children.
But, sure, Jan. Your kid failing at basic life skills and simple mathematics is the teachers fault. Not decades of systemic underinvestment in a system that is now held together with thoughts, prayers, and the pure uniformed vitriol of the masses.
Keep up the mediocre thread creation, CP. Looking forward to the next iteration at the September quarterly “teachers get paid too much” meeting.

One man's mediocre is another chat forum's most active thread for the last few days
The thing about teaching that makes it different for the general public to comment on compared to other jobs is that in general, by way of being students and having children, we all have far more exposure to teachers and the education system, than say lawyering and the legal profession.
To think that 'Joe public' isn't equipped to have an opinion and discuss it comes across, at best, as really defensive.
