What do you believe the government's role should be in addressing those issues?

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.
