My Question of the Day for 04 February 2010 – UPDATED
My Question of the Day: If students are failing, it’s because teachers aren’t teaching. Agree or Disagree?
My 2 Cents: As a former teacher, I’ll have to agree with the commenter who said that if a few students aren’t doing well, then it’s probably not the teacher’s fault. If most of the students aren’t doing well, it’s more than likely the teachers inability and/or unwillingness to actually educate.
Contrary to popular belief, everyone can’t teach. Standing in front of students and lecturing, and/or handing out homework assignments does not a teacher make.

chela816 Teachers, students, AND parents all have an important role to play. Deficiency in any of the three can impede learning.
BLKMGK No simple answer for this question. Sometimes its the teacher’s fault; most of the time its the parents’ fault.
JoshDamage they may be teaching but not effectively.
