It happens because there is no career track for public school teachers like that in higher education, where you can progress from, say. instructor to full professor with commensurate increases in salary, along with professional recognition through publicans etc. There is a kind of iron law of compensation for teachers that goes back at least a century: the top salary for a teacher is twice that of a beginning teachers. The basis for this is the legal fact that a teacher is a “mere employee,” with no (legal) authority to decide who, when, where, or how to teach. In a socialist state such as the soviet union this is also the fare of every “professional”, physicians included. But education in this has been socialized since the 19th Century.
Well, kind of hard to teach math like football. For one thing, you have to play the kids with one leg, or half-a-brain. ;)
I can understand the use of buses in rural areas where kids are spread out. Even in those cases, can't you drive your own kids?
eliminate all school busses!
When I went to school they didn’t have such things, you either walked or rode a bicycle.
“If they had put in sidewalks, I wouldn’t have had a problem with my kids walking to shcool, but how the heck are they supposed to walk to shcool when there is noplace to walk.”
I walked over a mile to grammer school in Los Angeles on streets without sidewalks, what’s the big deal?
Teach your rug rats some safety!
Barefoot through six feet of snow, right?
“Barefoot through six feet of snow, right?”
No, but rain or shine, it only snowed once in Los Angeles in 1949 and I fell on my ass on my bicycle and got wet on my way to school on that day.
I believe so. There are a lot of administration types who are VERY sympathetic to illegals.
