I've read all the posts in this thread, and most in the thread from which it was spawned. I'm not sure if you are referring to any of those posters as blaming the teachers, but if you were, I for one want to hear what they have to say, as long as it's factual and stated calmly, and ask them questions to clarify their point of view.

Having never lived in Chicago or even visited any areas of Chiacgo other than O'Hare airport, much less attend a school in Chicago, I will not conjecture about the issues that Chicago schools face. My statement was broader and directed towards the general trend of the attitude towards teachers that I have seen many display around the country in various similar incidents over the past couple years. In my post, "people" did not solely represent posters on Chief Delphi.
