To attack our teachers of all things is simply unfair and pointing the finger in the wrong direction.

No, I never "attacked" teachers. Again, this is part of why Americans are becoming so mindless in their critiques... you were never taught to think or even to read critically, so you interpret any critique as a binary opposition like those you see on CNN or FOX. It's fairly easy to see if you aren't steeped in that kind of flawed thinking.

I'll break it down: When your system is bankrupted by decades of deep budget cuts, it becomes broken. A broken education system will not attract the smartest, most capable young educators, so what you end up with are underqualified or entirely unqualified teachers. How can anyone somehow think those teachers are being "attacked" whenever it's pointed out that they lack what any other nation would consider the minimum standard for pedagogy training? These are facts, not attacks. You trained a generation of substandard teachers, thrust them into classrooms, and then act like it's nobody's fault that 30 million adult Americans are illiterate and can't even do basic arithmetic. Now you've elected a President on the basis that your citizens lack critical thinking skills. You still think I'm being "unfair"?
