[Didymos Thomas]

Afallucco, I have to disagree with you about the state of our educational system. However, you are absolutely right when you sight discipline as the primary problem.

Disciplined students will study - period. But it is difficult to promote disciplined students when the educators are incapable of teaching their subject. Even when the teachers are capable, government requirements tie their hands and do not allow capable teachers to run their classrooms effectively. There is a reason why teachers have been so universally infuriated by No Child Left Behind and similar state initiatives.
