I know you are just being funny. However, as a very conservative Christian and an educator, I am tired of the constant bashing of “all” educators. Yes, We have a lot of trash in my profession but there are many of us who fight the good fight daily. We need more conservatives to join the fight and become educators instead of continually complaining without offering a realistic solution. Again, I am not angry at you I am just tired of all of the digs thrown at educators here. Thanks for letting me vent.
Not at all.
The problem isn’t teachers - they come good, bad and indifferent. The problem is the public school monopoly, which encourages (in economic terms) rent-seeking - overpricing of a product or service regardless of quality.
If any reasonable degree of competition was baked into the educational system, the good teachers would profit most of all - everybody would want them. With a system unduly influenced by teachers unions, a world-class teacher with 30 years experience is valued effectively the same as a useless time-server who’s been wasting the time of children for the same 30 years.
