As a former teacher I get very concerned when I hear so many demands for things to be taught in school which I believe should be the role of parents. In the meantime parents complain about falling standards in basic reading, spelling, writing and mathematics. What makes a parent think a young 20 something unmarried, childless teacher is better equipped than the parent to teach things like diet and nutrition, gardening, morals, sexuality, driving, swimming, camping, etc.
What do you think teachers should be focusing on during school hours?
