Thanks for the comment. Don't you love it when teachers and schools are the first ones blamed? When the truth is quite otherwise- so many teachers and schools working so hard against impossible odds. But - 'twas ever thus. At least in my experience. Your plumbing analogy is spot on. Thanks for the comment. Don’t you love it when teachers and schools are the first ones blamed?

Perhaps they phone the TV engineer/insurance broker/investment banker/politician to fix it...In my experience, those who think they can do better the jobs of others are those who "do not know what they do not know".And there's a lot of it around........Ignorance and arrogance - that is.
