In my entire school “career” I recall having ONE teacher, MAYBE 2, that actually did “care” for me. The rest were there for a paycheck and some perhaps to feed their egos.
When my kids were in public school, they were lucky to have lovely teachers who did care for them. My son had some in middle school that were not great.
I really don’t have a problem with the teachers. However, it’s the bloated administrative costs that are unbelieveable. Have you seen the salaries of the Wisconsin school district administrators? So many of them get over $100K. First there are way too many administrators, and then they are overpaid.
