Let me just say that I agree with you 100% and after I posted this I wished I had phrased it differently. I was getting ready this morning to make the same points you made but you beat me to it. I certainly did not mean to critical of teachers, and appreciate those like you who may devote their lives to the teaching profession.

Like you, I believe strongly that the breakdown of the American family is at the root of the education  problem as well as many other problems like poverty or drug abuse. I read an article where 41% of children today are born out of wedlock with the number being as high as 75% in the minority community. A child specially boys who don't get the love attention and discipline they need at home are doomed to fail. Boys in particular need their dads to be role models and I feel very sorry for those that don't have that role model in their lives. If children are coming to school from this environment, I agree that it would make teaching these children a nearly impossible task and no amount of money will correct the problem.
