I'm a 4th grade teacher. Have been for nearly two decades. I'll tell you the problem.
New teachers have absolutely no idea what they are doing. They want everything spelled out for them. If they don't have someone tell them how to do everything they just get a glazed looked on their faces. Kind of like the kid at the register. We had a math coordinator about 15 years ago that said everything should be fun and cooperative. The most math problems you ever need to assign is 10. She and I didn't get along so hot cause I am of the school that believes you need to be able to do it on your own. That was when I started using the math books from the 70's. I want lots of math problems. If there are only a few you might just get lucky and pass. If there are 30 of them I can catch you being dumb and fix it.
All of the heavy lifting has been taken out of school and that's not right. I have a sign above my desk that says "Get to work - you aren't getting paid to believe in the power of your dreams". I point at it often.
That being said, there are some real go-getters out there. It just seems that there are so many less than there used to be. I blame video games for one.
