From a letter sent via e-mail to the editors of the New York Post by Sunny Liang, a Chinese immigrant who has been teaching "socail studies" at Brooklyn's Fort Hamilton High School for ten years:

Only if our society realize that there are so many factors contributing to a student's test score, then teachers will be willing to take the blam game. Who is to blam when students don't do homeworks? who is to blam when pareants don't care to come to the teacher pareant conference?
