Little Johnny was in kindergarten. There was a another boy in his class who wasn’t listening to the teacher.
The teacher said to the boy, “Since you don’t want to listen, you sit at that table by yourself.”
After a few minutes, Johnny raised his hand and said, “I don’t want to listen either. Can I sit with him?”

Russ Towne's A Grateful Man 
A wonderful anecdote that raises so many issues about teaching and learning, passivity versus active learning, interest, engagement, motivation, etc. G
I agree that there is much that can be done to improve education systems. My Beloved is a Special Education teacher for Kindergartners in a public school district.
I hear a lot of funny stories about what happens in the classroom. I don’t know anyone who works harder than her.

I can’t imagine that anyone does work harder. In my experience working with the youngest age groups is certainly the most demanding and challenging area of education, but often the most rewarding in terms of job satisfaction. Working with children with special educational needs just adds a whole new dimension of difficulty, which needs the very best and the most committed teachers to do it well.
I agree. But I’m biased. ;-D! Thank you for your remarks regarding teachers.
