There are VERY good public school teachers, but they get no,or very little, support from parents and school administration
Years ago I pocked up a NEA mag while in a hotel lobby. After reading a few articles I made up my mind. I told my children if they ever decided to become public school teachers I wouldnt pay for their college education and they would be disowned.
They are grown now, finished college and well into their careers. All with fine jobs in the private sector.
Im sure there may be good public teachers but 99% of them make the rest look bad!
