As far as poor performance, here in Kansas, teachers can be canned for poor performance, must go through due process, but it can and has been done. I don't think all of us are arrogant, but then again, I only know about 300-400 teachers and all here in Kansas.
I think you are in the wrong state. Ohio teachers top out around (as the TV reports) around 76k/year. You are indeed blessed and from a good stock of people if there's no arrogance in Kansas. Both my kids have some special educational needs and, although it must be provided by law, we have faced teachers who blatently say they, "have no reason," or just don't want to work with the requirements. One even got up from the meeting and said, "This is how I teach, take it or leave it!" That's what I call arrogance.
