Question

Just to clarify, are you claiming that "professionals" are inconsiderate of case-specific instances and more concerned with the "standard," average amount of success made? (i.e. ,how many students "pass" the SATs?) In terms of school education, would this be a result of teachers spending so much time working with large groups of students as oppose to smaller ones and one-on-ones, that they have grown to neglect those that deviate from experiencing the common classroom experience? Or is this mentality/behavior, what I feel is the case, forced into these teachers (this has to exclude amateurs because they have just stepped into this professional realm) by the educational system’s high expectations (perfect scores on examinations) given low resources (time constraints, small budget, etc.) for their student’s education?
