Mean teachers allow poor work. As a teacher putting up high goals so students reach up to achieve. We have lowered our levels to achieve so much that children and adults are closer to illiterate in all studies. "Mean" teachers push students beyond their known capabilities to achieve beyond their dreams.

Me too! It made me push myself beyond my self imposed limits. We need more mean teachers (and "mean" parents) go above and beyond!
