I guess you are right - this was out of place. Please scrape it off the slate. :) No, seriously - my apologies. Like i said, everyone is doing their work, and doing it well. It's a pity no-one is willing to do the dirty work of fighting for the teachers' rights. Probably it is so unprofessional. It does not require a PhD. All it takes is some guts - not being afraid of making enemies. And don't tell me there is a way of achieving anything without fighting - and a way of fighting without makng enemies. After all, it's not with friends that you need to fight.
