He seems to have learned the 'you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours' routine and is using it well.

What amazes me is that private schools cost so much less per student and give a better education. This crap of 'throw more money at the problem and it will be fixed' has been their excuse and solution and used for so long that they actually believe that it's true. But the public is getting tired of hearing it, when there's proof out there that it's not true.

The focus of education today is to coddle the student so that they have a feeling of accomplishment, even if they don't. They're considered good students if they just show up. That skills they learn seems to secondary to their feelings and they expect a good grade no mater what they turn in. Everyone 'owes".
