I don't think it's really about the kool aid. There is kool aid, to be sure, but the problem with LE is that teachers are thrown into classrooms (or throw themselves into classrooms) with no prior education in pedagogy. As such, students have crappy teachers who have never been taught what a good lesson plan looks like. Just because you can do math doesn't mean you can teach it.
