Teacher Quality my butt

You know, the word "deserve" is really getting on my nerves, too,
these days. I read the first paragraph of this site about teacher
quality and cannot stand the use of the English language anymore.

"The National Council on Teacher Quality is a nonpartisan research and
advocacy group committed to restructuring the teaching profession, led
by our vision that every child deserves effective teachers."

Children do not DESERVE effective teachers, because to deserve
something, you must be worthy of reward. Children are too young and
moldable to _deserve_ a headstart in life because they haven't done
anything with their lives yet to warrant such a statement. Rather,
knowledge is paramount to every child's future. It isn't deserved;
it's a necessity in our society to give every child equal
opportunities. What each child does with those opportunities is up to
them.

I have trouble placing stock in the site at all if the authours
themselves have not been correctly taught. Perhaps their vendetta is
due to their own lack of study when they were younger.

Anywho, otherwise it's a neat site with all sorts of data compiled.
It's just that, like my beliefs in journalism and any public text,
sites about teaching should be linguistically correct.

End rant.
