To be honest, that's why so many send their kids to private schools and are willing to pay to do so. School vouchers are the way for less fortunate (okay, poor families) to have access to better education and get themselves (or their kids) out of poverty.
I started teaching in Oklahoma. I was at Bartlesville, Tulsa Union, and Catoosa. I've been in Texas for the last 20 years. I teach 11th grade US History (Civil War to present day). The most surprising thing about the job is the other crap that's expected out of teachers that has nothing to do with teaching, but government accountability. Thy put so much on teachers that there's no way you can do everything without working 24/7. I got in education to coach baseball, but now I'm retired from coaching and just teach.
I created so much stuff for my subject (powerpoints, tests, study guides, assignments, etc.) that I'm thinking about starting my own consulting business and marketing my stuff to districts and individual teachers. You can find a lot of my older US History powerpoints on-line (someone posted a lot of them years ago without my permission). I still have people email me out of the blue from other states saying they're using presentations that I have created with great success.
