The Sorry State of Public Education

-OR-

They'll let anyone teach ANYthing, won't they?


I'm just an assistant teacher. As a foreigner trying to work with a limited second-language capacity, my abilities are, obviously suspect. For example, I've been presumed incapable of pulling weeds and wiping windows.

But I am capable, appearantly, of assisting with remedial 6th grade algebra in Japanese.

Not too shabby for a guy who flunked Algebra once and Japanese twice.
