I don't care if it is the King of France teaching about cowardice, he should have to follow proper protocol.

. . . this would be him, if you're considering the Orleanist line to be the correct one:

Seriously, "proper protocol" has degenerated here into a system designed to suppress talent and ability and reward timeservers and the marginally competent. Think the Byzantine court or the Chancery of Dickens's time.

You can't support a procedure just because the system itself claims "proper protocol". Of course every bureaucratic system declares itself to be proper. You can't judge this by its own internal standard; that standard has become corrupt.

"...he should have to follow proper protocol".

Don't ever read "The Good Soldier Schweik" it'll be a complete waste of your time.

I absolutely disagree. First off, most people coming from math/science professions would already be taking a pay cut to teach. They are exactly the type of people (knowledgable and familiar with real world applications) that we NEED desperately. To insult them by insisting they sit for hours learning "classroom management" (Don't give tests on Monday mornings. Greet your students personally at the door every day. Blah, Blah, Blah) is counterproductive.

Some very knowledgable people simply cannot break things down effectively to teach children. That could be a problem. But right now, we have teachers teaching kids incorrect "facts".

Get people who at least know the facts into classrooms. We can work on teaching problems in workshops.
