Sarah come's home with weekly horror stories of injustice - how teachers are treated by parents at her "upperclass" public school. Somehow teachers are held accountable for EVERYthing - from the child's bad behaviour, to poor grades to homework not handed in.
Let's calculate:
Sarah has 3 classes, with an average of 20 students/class. She spends an hour and a half per class, which comes down to about 4.5 minutes/child/day = 22.5 minutes/week that she theoretically has to spend with each child.
Of course, parents only have evenings after school AND weekends to monitor their child's academic diligence and progress. How can they possibly be expected to take ownership for their child AND also RAISE their kids.
Let's rather blame the teacher! It's much easier for the accountability of education and raising of the child to be placed onto the educators' broad shoulders. It's their job, isn't it!
"The Buck Stops Here," seems a long forgotten saying.
