I wrote the song and am the guy on the right. I am a teacher education professor and this was a vent against all of the people and rules that make my job more frustrating and difficult. I see now that it could also apply to teachers in schools, but it wasn't meant that way. Teachers have their own (and longer) list of things they are told to do or not do that make their jobs tougher than they should be. And, they could write their own songs about that!

Blaming only students and parents is just as stupid as only blaming teachers. We really need to stop with the blaming bullshit and work together on education. The blaming, punishing, acountablity crap is getting everyone nowhere.

@UncleJoey12 Yep, it seems a lot of Ameritards hear something untrue repeated over and over again...and they eventually believe it. Oh, the schools need more and more money, the teachers are to blame, we need new, billion dollar, advanced school buildings. The truth is there is a large group of students/parents in this country who do not value learning, money will not change that. Watch as this once fine country gets dumber and dumber, we have lost honesty in this once country.....Oh well!

[tickyul]

@UncleJoey12 Yeah, this is a failing country, things will just get more and more phony, the country will take more and more turns for the worse. I just do not think it is a huge secret (but it seems like it), the main responsibility for learning falls on the person being taught. The mantra of "we need more money" is just making it harder for less educated people to see that this is just a smokescreen, some people do not value learning. Lots of Ameritards are getting dumber and dumber..Idiocracy.

Teacher "X" teaches 5 classes. He teaches 3 Algebra classes, 1 Advanced Algebra class, and 1 remedial class. His first four classes are okay, but his last class is utter chaos!

Why?

Is it because the class has 43 students instead of 35?

Or maybe because the majority of the students don't speak English?

Could it be that it's late in the day and the kids are tired?

Or maybe, just maybe, the kids are DOWN-RIGHT LAZY?

Stop blaming the hard-working, dedicated teachers!
