In lieu of teaching, teachers learn to identify and correct bullying

The publik skools are doing it backwards, again. Now the teachers are learning when they should be teaching.

Eventually, they hope to make a leaner, meaner, bullying machiner and use the kid as a teacher's aide.

No, teachers still are still unable to teach readin, ritin and rithmitic.
