I know this isn't in whole the teachers' fault, or even the school system's. It's the lack of proper governmental funding, which is a complete joke, because our shitty government is just going to get shittier as they continue to not educate properly...

I digress. The ironies of our government is a whole 'nother tale...

The point is, more funding leads to more and better paid teachers. This leads to smaller class sizes with teachers that give a fuck running them. This leads to interaction with every student, and that's the goal, because then we won't have to use "some children are just born incapable dolts" as an excuse...

The sad part is, so many people see this as so far-fetched. It's not. It's quite easy, actually; take some funding from somewhere else and give it to education!

Really, what the hell is more important than education?
