+Schools and parents and students are not partners for the politicians.
+The problem is, high level MS reps (even Mr. Gates did) visit the MP
+(like the governor of a US state) and talks with him. Then the
+contracts are signed and the whole hierarchy downwards has to act
+according to those contracts. Schools and students and parents are at
+the bottom of that hierarchy.

+
+They do complain, so what? The politicians have their opinions and
+they act upon that. If the people's annoyance level is high enough the
+people will show it at next elections. But whoever they vote for, they
+are jsut the same.
+
+Sorry, I did not want to get into politics, it's just that over here
+all education is ruled by the verious states of our federal republic.
