Title: Lack of Education in This Country
Summary:
This article is about how some students are illiterate because of their teachers. If a teacher is not passionate about what they are teaching, they can only fake the enthusiasm for so long. If a teacher really likes a class, they are more likely to want their students to be engaged. If a teacher hates the course that they are studying then they will not want to have to answer question, and be more likely to pass a student who is not supposed to be passed.
