was it different 30,40, 50 years ago? In the small town I grew up in, my parents told me how the italians, polacks and germans were always fighting, kids were dirt poor and their parents worked their butts off. Schools had no technology. Believe it not, they survived. What made teachers better then? Schools were BETTER then?
Serioulsy, how were SCHOOLs or teachers better then?
