The American education system has evolved into a scam. Teachers should feel confident that their lives are more valuable than having to undo (or give hope to) the poverty and moral degradation in our children as a result of the fiat/credit system enforced on their parents. All that is in their control is to provide a safe haven against the insanity flowing through this country while enduring it individually. They are not wrong, they should not be blamed; the system is rigged in favor of those who enslave parents. If we were living in a free market the idea that we can brainwash children into using our methods would have died out centuries ago.
