i don't think you can blame only the teacher when they are confronted with 20-30 kids at once that all lack basic skills. Teacher are not wizards

Raising a kid these days is tough, your kids need your help in so many ways.
My daughter started with hooked on phonics before she started the 1st grade, she graduates college in a couple days. I told her since she was probably 4 she was going to get an education. At the same time, I taught her how to shoot, how to protect herself, all the things that I could, (Funny I could still help her with Algebra and Trig) life lessons are important. I always showed her encouragement and love.
(When she wanted to see Rocky Horror Picture show with friends, I made up a bag with toast, rice and a squirt gun full of water)
Today, she's a veteran and in a couple days she will be a college graduate. Her vocabulary is way beyond mine, yet when she makes a big decision, she always consults me.
She is my best friend in the world and that's the most important thing.
It's sad when you see parents that just don't care enough to have real love for their kids and let the TV or video games raise them, then blame the schools for any problems. I yelled at a couple teachers, one got fired.
