Here in the United States, many parents blame the teachers if their children do not do well in school. Many parents do not say, "My child is lazy," or "My child refuses to study," or "My child is not too intelligent." They say instead: "The teacher is no good," or "The school does not have enough computers and books," or "The government should give more money to the schools." Being a teacher in the United States is a very stressful job, especially if you teach in a big city. It is true that in some big cities, teachers are paid very well, but that does not apply to all cities.
