A teacher's regrets
Postbox letter from Sarah
Now that I have resigned from my job and quit teaching, I look back on my regrets.
A parent has complained
Sometimes teachers feel like although they try, they simply can't please everyone

A list of almost twenty issues that certainly need looking at
I want to list some of the more egregious problems and describe reasonable solutions. Testing and implementing the solutions on a small scale will come later, if at all.
