50,000,000 illiterate adults in America.
Almost exclusively brought to you by the teachers’ unions, and the apathetic, crappy teachers the unions protect.
(Please don’t rant, I qualified the teachers the comment is referring to.)
“(Please don’t rant, I qualified the teachers the comment is referring to.)”
Why?? As someone quite brilliantly put it, where were the teachers that supported the (Wisconsin) governor demonstrating?
No where - no where to be found. They seem to have no problem with the lunatics running the system - or else they would organize and SPEAK UP.
No, they do not...in fact, there probably are not that many, as they elect their unions leaders (in fair elections) and have yet to find a SINGLE UNION LEADER who gives a rats ass about whether kids are learning anything.
So, if they are any good teachers out there, they HAVE A DUTY TO BE HEARD. And if they don’t feel it’s worth the effort, then they are simply enablers.
True, but it’s brought on even more by:
-Fatherlessness
-An anti-education attitude among those of a certain racial background who tend to live in larger urban areas
-An anti-education attitude among those of a lighter skinned racial background who stereotypically live in trailer parks
-Government social programs
_Did I mention fatherlessness?
My girlfriend’s sister would get frustrated over his inability to read fluently that she would take the book from him and read aloud...in 8th grade. then she would figure his math problems, all the while screaming at him. It’s not only bad teachers but bad parents and a society too fixated on the “rights” of a child.
Please, never apologize.
We rely on the incompetents to self-identifying by ranting.
The few competent teachers do not belong to a union, or keep their silence.
