These teachers are laying the blame on the kids and their parents
for failing to learn the basic skills of reading and writing without
which it becomes difficult to learn anything else. My Mother had
enough to do bringing up me and my siblings without having to
take on the task of teacher, although she did suggest I do my
homework. Back in my day the teachers were well schooled in
their subjects and they stood no nonsense from us kids. Today's
teachers are a sorry lot for the most part who barely know their
subjects. How they expect to teach English when they say things
like y'all and ain't leaves me as worried about the future as they
profess to be.
