Well now, why do that? Teachers don't know anything either...and when they do, they talk until they are blue in the face and nothing changes (gee, this isn't a touchy subject for me or anything!). I think someone (ie the government--ideally) needs to sit down and rework the system. And NOT politians--but REAL educators who have had REAL classroom experience in these "poor" schools, not wanna-be librarians and their husbands.
