I totally agree.

The problems arise when Teachers cannot break out of this animated character, and this can understandably be a fine line. How they deal with administrators, parents, and serious psychological/emotional problems they find in the classroom must reflect a level of maturity well beyond Bugs Bunny's.

The problem in the Netherlands is that teachers have to fill out so many forms that they simply don't have the time to actually spend time on preparing lessons, and individual care of students when needed. And because of the bureaucracy the best teachers seem to have left the profession already.
