Why are teachers being held responsible for our children lack of education? They recently passed a law that teachers will be given 3 chances and they will be fired. I think that is wrong to hold a teacher responsible for every student education and passing the standard tests. The teachers can lead the students to the book, but cannot make them pick it up, to read. Teachers have those students who do and do not want to learn. For the students who do not want to learn: how would one makes those students learn and keep their job at the same time. I have seen stubborn children, which have made up their mind on not learning and want. How do you keep your cool and job when you know your job is on the line. If I was teacher I would have that child removed from class or have a parent conference, because I will not lose my job because this child refuses to learn. Before we go setting laws I think every aspect should be looked at and all options took under considerations of all students and teachers.
