> teachers are lazy

Teachers don’t make those decisions, school boards do. School boards are elected or appointed political entities.

Teachers are humans just like you, and like or dislike work for the same reasons you do, including your unoriginal display of classic American anti-intellectualism.

School boards to do not set curriculum or methods of instruction. At best they hire and fire the administration team. But even those positions usually have tenure.

So even a willing school board is unable to do more than rubber stamp the status quo.
