On Sept. 6 an article appeared on CNN.com about a school principal who was recently named as the administrator of the year in her state.聽聽She told the journalist that she was leaving the profession.聽聽She said the reason was that the parents expected teachers to be more "nannies" than educators:

We are educated professionals who work with kids every day and often see children in a different light than parents do.聽聽Yet parents fight the advice rather than digesting it, and do not accept anything negative.聽聽At times when I tell parents that their child has been a behavior problem, I can almost see the hairs rise on their backs. They are ready to fight and defend their child, and it is exhausting. I had a child cheat on a test, and his parents threatened to call a lawyer because I was labeling him a criminal. I know that sounds crazy, but principals all across the country are telling me that more and more lawyers are accompanying parents for school meetings dealing with their children. The truth is, a lot of times it's the bad teachers who give the easiest grades, because they know by giving good grades everyone will leave them alone.

By sheer coincidence (or perhaps not ) a few days later, front page news in Montreal's newspaper was a grim statistic: 50% of Quebec's population聽are virtually illiterate, meaning they cannot grasp more than simple statements.聽聽The percentage is not much better for聽Canada聽as a whole, standing at 45%.聽 The numbers should not be that surprising, since some 55% boys and 45% girls drop out of high schools in Quebec.

On the same day, a flyer was distributed in all the boxes of聽HEC, Quebec's top French business school, lending credibility to the aforementioned principal's other statement.聽聽The flyer, written by聽HEC's Student Service office announced that it would give four seminars to the students about the following:

• Learning methods/ Studying efficiently;
• Managing stress;
• Organizing your time and managing your motivation;
• Back to your studies.

Nanny situation indeed 聽for the 19-years and older. And at a business school, where one would expect some self selection based on both drive and being able to deal with stress (what business career聽is there聽without it?). By 19 you would also expect to be able to study efficiently and know how to organize your time...
