SIR: When children fail at school, the blame is always put on to the teachers. With this in mind, I hit upon an obvious idea. Instead of expecting teachers to take on the roles of doctors, nurses, psychiatrists, police, and in a lot of cases the entire role of the parents, why don't we let teachers teach? It just might work.
