It is a great post and the perfect analogy. I'm a teacher. Most of the poorer students come into school carrying a lot of baggage. Most do not come from decent, stable homes. I can't turn them away.
When a kid say that she's going to drop out anyway I cannot motivate them. They go home to an unsporting environment. The parent (yes parent not parents) doesn't really care about the kid.
The "family" doesn't value education, it's sad but out of our control.


Please say you are joking. Either about thinking that is a "great post/perfect analogy" or about being a teacher.

Please. Please. Please.

GUESS WHAT MORON, LOTS OF CLASSROOMS IN YOUR SCHOOL ARE FILLED WITH MANY OF THESE SAME PROBLEM KIDS. SOME TEACHERS MAKE MORE OF A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE THAN OTHERS. MEASURE IT. REWARD IT.

NOBODY IS SAYING THAT ONE SHOULD COMPARE STUDENT PERFORMANCE FROM DOWNTOWN DETROIT TO THAT FROM PALO ALTO. JUST COMPARE PERFORMANCE AND PROGRESS WITHIN A SCHOOL SYSTEM. IF YOU ARE TELLING ME THERE ARE NO DIFFERENCES BETWEEN TEACHERS THEN YOU ARE A LIAR OR BRAIN DEAD.

Good god you people are stupid.
