Why are so many parents out there today blaming teachers for the problems that their students are having? Thanks to No Child Left Behind teachers are being literally pushed out of their careers and all of this is because people believe that the accountability is not at high enough standards. I am married to a special education teacher and he puts in more hours than those who work 80 hour a week jobs and he doesn't get paid nearly what they get paid! He has to take required professional developments in order for the school to get funding for reading from the government. These professional developments equal 80 credit hours of work with each course requiring 2 to 4 hours of work a week on top of everything else that a teacher has to do such as lesson planning, grading, strategizing and the list goes on. Why are so many blaming teachers when their students are not doing well? Ninety-five percent of the students who are not successful are a direct result from their parents lack of support
