Shrug Shoulders

Does anyone care about the education system and how dysfunctional it is? Whenever I ask questions as to why we are doing it that way, or why don't we change it to make it run smoother or more logical, I just a get a shrug of the shoulders and comments that it has always been that way. Why has it always been that way and how come no one else seems to mind that it is not the best system? I'm talking very general here, but I'm sure you guys have run across things since you've been teaching that would not fly in industry. If we are preparing our students for the business world, then why are we not given the same tools as the business world and held accountable the same as the business world?

I'm just venting. I see a lot of areas that need to be improved in my county and when I ask questions, it doesn't seem that anyone else really cares. I hope that our county will step up soon and make some improvements.
