I agree with your take on that.
Teacher’s unions are a terrible thing too. You’ve got kids needing to see good values from somewhere, and society failing them in it’s institutions.
As you say, a good teacher is considered canon fodder.
The government, administrators, and union bosses have no drive to make things better. It’s as if they think we’ll need them more as the schools go downhill at a faster pace.
One thing I could never figure is this.
Government, administrators, and unions colluded to bring us this mess. When it’s clear they failed, what happens?
You get a commission made up of government, administration, and union officials.
They come up with a plan clearly set to fail from the outset, and yet the media and many other folks buy in like, “Well, at least they fixed it.” No, they didn’t...
See you back her in three to five years when it’s clear I’m right again. Then...
You’ll get a commission made up of government, administration, and union officials.
Also, the education industry introduces and religiously follows more fads that any other industry I’ve encountered. Every year or two requires all teachers to be taught the new fad, revamp curricula, create new lesson plans, etc at enormous cost. Year after year, decade after decade these new fads are introduced, tried, and thrown out to be replaced by the next fad. The result? Dumber and dumber kids every year.
Meanwhile, all discipline is gone from schools, failing the millions of kids with no father at home. These kids have zero structure in their lives Andy have never had to follow rules to succeed. The miserable creep in this article is what happens.
