I went to school in Oregon. Things I remember:

* Three or four really great teachers, who taught me a lot.

* Lots of teachers blathering on about personal and rather inappropriate stuff. In retrospect, many seem emotionally desperate and treated the classroom as a captive audience to their personal drama.

* Being singled out and harassed by at least four teachers.

* The school administrator plucking a brand new IBM 386sx off the cart that was headed to the desperately underpowered computer lab. He did this so he could run Windows. So he could launch a DOS-based menu system. So he could switch between two DOS-based applications he used.

Fire the administrators first.



And the cycle continues. Fire the teachers! The students aren't learning - they're the problem! Fire the administrators! Fire the teachers! The students aren't trying! Fire the administrators!...

Perhaps the system itself is the problem. Change the system.
