Fairy tale

Once upon a short time soon in the future in a land not so far away was as school. In this school were teachers that were happy, considered respected members of the community, and highly paid for all they did for the students entrusted in their care. The students eagerly attended school every day, anticpating the discovery and exploration of knowledge that would enrapture their minds. Parents attended conferences and resepected the opinions of the adminstrators when on the rare occassion discipline had to be dealt.
This school was filled with the latest technology to offer the students access to worlds beyond their community. Library shelves bowed down from the excessive weight of the books stacked upon them. Supplies were never in short supply and the curriculum was designed acknowledging the difference amongst learners . Staff memebers collaborated amongst themselves to ensure that students needs were being met in each and every class. The idea of teaching to a standardized test was a laughable obscure idea that would never come to pass.
The work lunatic was never mentioned let alone associated with those that were in charge of education at the legislative level.
Oh if only this weren't a fairy tale but how all seen education.
It is the way we make futrure leaders and the great citizens of the society we all live in.
My question is why does it have to be only a fairy tale?
