The solution to education is for education tax dollars to go directly to parents. Then let government get the eff out of the way. Parents should choose how, where, and who educates their children.
People want a choice in education. There are 40,000+ children in Philadelphia that are on wait lists for charter schools. While charter schools are slightly better than your normal public school, they still fall short. Education dollars should be available for any school. If we inject competition into education the weak and inferior, read that as lazy ass teachers, will be saying, “Do you want fries with that?” And, children will be taught by people who actually have the knowledge and skills to deliver a quality education.
No-—deadbeat parents, no way of reprimanding prima dona children who never hear the word no, and administrators who are afraid to be sued ARE the problem, (for the most part).
Teachers, can’t believe I’m saying this, by and large are not as big a problem as the 3 mentioned above.
btw-husband of a teacher. The stories I hear everyday make me wonder why my wife wakes up and goes to her teaching job.
She’d be more sane milking cows
