I agree with your point about the teachers. That's another consequence of changing educational goals with every administrative change, and we can sympathize with the difficulty teachers face every time the curriculum changes. Yet we keep changing the curriculum everytime something in society changes - this is asking for problems.

Attention levels of students is another challenge teachers face. Again, I'd agree with Robert Elliott, that "school" and "education" are two different things. The quality of the teacher should be of primary concern, and not so much the curriculum - it's the qualities the teacher exemplifies that will have the greatest effect on students. Since students are receivers of those qualities, teachers have to maintain the highest standards to interject into their students, and should be constantly trained regarding the changing needs of their students. A teacher exemplifying the highest standards can be instrumental in transforming an inattentive student, if the student is encouraged and wants to emulate that teacher's qualities, regardless of what the curriculum is.
