Depends on the teacher. Many younger teachers still have the ideals and promise in their minds, seems like many of the older teachers on the brink of retirement really don't care any more.

See at my school if you don't pass the grade the people take a chunk out of their paycheck, so yea, I'd assume they'd want us to pass. They only make so much anyone

A good teacher will do everything they can to get the majority of their students to a good understanding of the subject matter. Not everyone is going to understand everything, and that is not the fault of the teacher.

The majority of teachers started out caring but the system beat them down just like the rest of America and now they are just in it for the paycheck. Those that really do care are few and far between and most of them are fresh out of college.

I taught school for 35 years, and I sure did care! But, it's like any profession, you will find the good, the bad, and the ugly.

I've had great teachers who go out of their way to meet everyone's needs and I've had others who just want to run down the clock and get their paycheck.

I've had the pleasure to actually meet some, you can definetlly tell them apart by being totally implicated in us, and really open-minded, even they can be severe though, in wich cases it becomes a quality

Their pay checks aren't that large. If they didn't care they wouldn't be doing it, that's what I think

No, its about pushing radical progressive ideas, not learning math and science and other useful skills, its about the Union , their pension and all around they are seemingly more concerned with shaking down the tax payer and pushing a radical progressive curriculum than actually creating skilled thoughtful people capable of excelling and critical thinking.

If you don't understand, your learning styles are not the same as the instructor's teaching styles. I don't believe it is technically in the job description to make sure you use some of every style to aid in understanding. Those that make up the "exceptional teacher" population are the ones who care.

I think most teachers do because they don't want us growing up being stupid but then some teachers might need the money so they just show up and do the job and won't slow down and all of us students are like, 'WTF? I don't get this at all.' Teacher: 'Then pay attention!' Okay, I was exaggerating there a little. I've never had a teacher who's done that before, usually, the teachers I have had stop and explain it. Unless they're in a bad mood then you have to come in anyways. ANYWAYS, you get my point. Some can, some don't.

If you think teachers picked their jobs for the money, you are insane. They don't make near enough for the amount of work they put it. And yes, the vast majority of them care a lot about their students and how they're doing and try very hard to have everyone understand and do well.

Some teachers can be ignorant bastards and some others actually pay attention and help ALL their students through their education.

Some do, and those are the ones who transform lives. If a teacher does not care about the success of their students, they should not be teaching. Unfortunately, the size of classes today make it very difficult for a teacher to take a personal interest in each one of their students. This is an unacceptable situation. It should be a big priority to reduce class sizes to a maximum of 20 students per teacher, and yet we continue to reduce our education spending while increasing military spending. Keep 'em dumb and willing to shoot stuff seems to be the new national motto.

I know many teachers - and they all care.

I am sure that there are some out there that do not, but I think they are in the minority.

I've had excellent teachers that made learning enjoyable, and crappy teachers that made my life a misery, it really just depends on the individual teacher.

Public school teachers dont care if you understand. In fact, they'd rather their students have a "It just is, deal with it!" attitude. They don't really want you to want to understand things.
