I agree with you. But how many teachers out there just don't care anymore or plain stink. We all went to school, so we should remember that we had same really bad teachers and we had some really great teachers. You cant fire the bad or complacent ones because of the unions. I know there are plenty of great teachers out there that actually teach and know how to get a hold of the kid's attention.

Administrative staff, yep, cut back on them.
