Having taught for 30 years in both rural and urban schools, and having gone through a period of being a “bad” teacher, I must say that there is plenty of blame to go around. Lack of support from parents, administrators, and apathy of students go a long way toward creating “bad” teachers. Granted, teachers can and must do whatever they can to create interest and provide sound education in their classrooms, but everyone is an educator. Learning does not stop when you leave the school door, or even when you graduate. Instilling this lifetime learning attitude in our children is the responsibility of every person, not just the teachers. Otherwise, we will always have “bad” teachers, because we will always have “bad” learners. In my experience, the difference in the success and failure of students lies with the parents. If the parent values education, the student does well; if the parent is apathetic, so is the child.
