Nationwide public school teachers are also being blamed for underpar educational performance.
Rarely, however, do we hear or see the reality they live daily.
A squad of Neon Tommy reporters recently visted with eight LAUSD teachers that nobody has ever heard of. Nobody, except the students they struggle to teach -- against all odds-- on a daily basis.
Here are their stories.
