I think that "we" all get the point. 

Why do I get this picture in my head of a college math department swarming
on a local high school, ousting the current regime of high school math
teachers, and replacing with a brand-new, more highly educated regime
?

What I'd really like to see is for "you" to teach these budding HS 
math teachers better, so "we" don't have to suffer through their
miseducation!
