Can Schoolteachers be Trusted?

In a lot of rural areas, teaching provides a lot of college educated jobs. Otherwise it largely lawyers, doctors, dentists, and nurses.

Public school teachers come from the bottom 20% of college graduates, on average. They have no teaching capabilities beyond regurgitating leftist drivel that gained them a passing grade from a Marxist professor. Their accreditation and teaching certifications come out of compliance with leftist ideology twisted into bureaucratic regulation.

A CPA is forbidden from teaching accounting. A Chemist is prohibited from teaching Chemistry. A Biologist is prohibited from teaching Biology or Science. An Actuarial is forbidden from teaching statistics. An Astrophysicist is prohibited from teaching Physics.

Get it? My wife's company used to donate time from their highly skilled and compensated employees. The schools forbid any classroom contact with students or teachers, leaving them running copy machines, grading multiple choice exams, and judging Science Fair projects. In reality, the districts didn't want them there at all. It was obvious the teachers were idiots, the material covered was trivial and unimportant. Even a pretty good teacher would be shunned by the administration for cooperating. After the third year the company ended the fiasco. They tried.

As a retired teacher I can answer that question. RESOUNDING NO!

With very few exceptions.

There have been virtually no “teachers” in government schools since the 1970s...

They were gradually replaced with “indoctrinators” and given almost total control over children...

Birth parents were relegated to a substatus with no real rights over their offspring...

When we had public school systems (pre-1970), there were real teachers, and parents controlled their neighborhood schools...
It was the finest system on the planet...

However, it was when the communists had black-robed judges in place, busing was used as a method to destroy the neighborhood concept and hand the children over to government bureaucrats and government-school “indoctrinators”...
