In response to "Things teachers can neever preparee for."

I have read a few articles like this one and have heard a number of life stories like that and they all make me sick. America is put on a pedestal by the world and is concerned about foreign affairs when in fact it doesn't even take care of it's own people. We (as a country) need to get our priorities straight.

So what do we do? Part of what we must contend with regarding the US is that fact that people can't agree upon who should take care of "the people." Some groups believe it's the government's responsibility; others think people should take care of themselves. What's the solution?

And more importantly, how does this conflict, which you point out, affect public education and it's role in American society?

DO NOT be afraid to ask these questions. And, challenge yourself to find the answers, for yourself.
