The USA has some of the worst teachers among wealthy nations, because of the way it portrays education, and the very low standards of every educational college. Don't be surprised, OP. The people who go in for teaching are unfortunately often bottom of the barrel graduates. Makes it really hard for the few excellent teachers to change perceptions about education!

PP's statement about "worst teachers" doesn't seem to be borne out by data.  What is true is that the US has some of the lowest standards for teacher training, and they are being actively reduced in many states due to a lack of teachers.  However this actually seems to be driving highly academically qualified people who are already teachers (and there are a lot of them) to leave the profession and it makes highly qualified potential applicants much less likely to apply to teacher training programs.  MAny teacher organizations are actually pushing teacher training programs to raise their standards.
 
Our experience as parents in DCPS has been that teacher quality has been extremely uneven.  Higher standards might help to remedy that.[/quote]
