There's an Arrogance here....

Whatever anyone wants to say in defense of teachers,here or elsewhere, the truth remains the same. For what we pay in taxes, the schools in Plainview could be better, much better. The teachers institute unofficial and illegal job actions that most teachers' unions on Long Island shy away from. Many have attitudes about the population they serve. Don't kid yourself cultural prejudices do exist within the school system. There's an arrogance here that does nothing to improve the education our children receive.

The teachers and the community shouldn't be at such odds with each other. The administrators could do a better job of fostering PR within the community. Their job is not about the children. It's about them. There are some dedicated educators who put the children first bu not as many as there should be. I'm not sure they care if individuals or the community as a whole is happy or not with the job they do.
