Education

Well, I am a high school math teacher, so I have an opinion about education. I am also getting me master's in education. So, my education point number one:

Education is a balance. People ask why kids are failing. They are really asking who is responsible for learning. Obviously, teachers are important, but the student is responsible for learning. You can lead a horse to water and even put salt in his oats, but you can't make him drink.
