Oh bleagh. I keep forgetting about this.

But I still feel the same way. Why are teachers not standing up to 
this? Especially teachers who are experienced and tenured? I will 
forgive those who are just starting out and/or who for whatever reason 
are still in probationary status, but really, teachers need to start 
speaking out. Big time.
