Educators Failing

* What does it mean when (at least) seven adults have to hover around a child who bites, throws chairs and overturns desks? What does this “hovering” cost in monetary terms?

Too, what does it mean when a judge has to decide who may and who may not be a cheerleader in a high school?

What, I wonder, are teachers, principals and superintendents for? Are disciplinary problems and academic standards to be reserved for special committees and judges?

What does it mean? Among many, many other things, it surely means that the state of education today is humiliatingly tragic.
