I refer in my posts to my observations and experiences. I dont need
you permission or approval to care or be interested in something.
That is a strawman argument, I can be concerned about whatever I
wish and it has zero influence on my capacity or performance as an
educator. Parents are very concerned about the abilities of their
children when graduating.

No, there is no vast conspiracy to undermine teachers, and its not
the evil agenda of the popular media. The media is concerned with
selling their channel, and content, and bad news and scandal just
sell better. The vast district for educators is not a result of the
medias influence but originates with parents, they are the source
for the fall of our profession.

Yes, there is a movement to privatise education, so what,
privatization is a reality in many public services and responsibilities.
