So if a child in the public school system has two great parents how exactly does that counterbalance for the four to five incompetent, going through the motions, just collecting a paycheck, complaining about how hard they have it, teachers that he/she has to deal with every day?
Just curious.
Those teachers would be gone.
Incompetence is not tolerated in our school district. And it should not be in yours.

The great parents would pull their child out of a school which was not effectively teaching them and put them in one which would.
Yes, thank you. I'd thought that I was perfectly clear.
I didn't ask who are the most influential people in a child's education, which might have gotten the obvious answer of "parents." I asked, "Who are the most influential people in education? I'm figuring Arne Duncan and Diane Ravitch to start with - but who else?" Since I even included two names, I would have thought it was pretty clear I'm asking about notable current figures in the field of education, in terms of setting and advising about policy.
Thanks, Happy Texan, but I'm looking for living people still in the middle of things.
Kind of like Hitler was Time Magazine's Most Influential Person of the 20th Century.
