But remember, fixing this sort of problem is ostensibly what we're here for.
If we fail at that for reasons you can articulate, I at least would like to know.
Education is ostensibly what high school teachers are there for, but if a student shows up who can't read, they don't blame themselves because they're not there to teach basic skills like that.
I know a few high school teachers. I think they'd consider illiteracy a freakin' emergency, not an annoying inconvenience. Blame wouldn't enter into it.
