Answer 1

T(h)ink, I am afraid that this is only the tip of a huge iceberg.

Answer 2

Right you are, Marianne. 

Answer 3

I am just feeling like you, T(h)ink, and also formerly, education was often abusive - and things did not change much.

Many old and more recent scandals are waiting to be unveiled.

Answer 4

I agree with Marianne! I'm sure there are many more and many more to come. My opinion of most of today's school teachers isn't very good as I talk to some neighbor kids here and there and am surprised at the things they aren't taught. Today's class: The best way to get the most from your smart phone. Watch this film while I go for a break. This is only going to spread and become worse.

Answer 5

Schools in many cases have become crap, Rooster, especially inner-city schools, where pretense at education is the most widespread.  It's not all the teachers' fault; the parents don't give a damn either.
