Back when I was teaching High School, I had a principal tell me that I was crazy if I didn't think that my job was a political job. The fine line a teacher has to walk to keep his/her butt out of a political firestorm is tough. By the end of my career, there were numerous subjects that I would not approach because I could not accurately discuss the topic without some parent pissing off at the school. The reason teachers have become mediocre in their jobs is because parents have forced them to be that way. Sad, but true. And much like any other service industry, “the customer is always right” and parents rule the educational system. I finally quit.
