There are only three problems. You can't dump the bad teachers, you can't dump the bad administrators, and you can't dump the bad students.
Any one of these three things would doom a private business, yet all three conditions are mandated in the public education system.
Yea , I agree. The problem is that there is no incentive to work hard. If you're "friends" of the local Democrat politicians you really have it made. I know teachers who make 80K and sit and read the news all day . I also know teachers who make 38K and do more for these kids than you can imagine. we have some real good people in my school and even 2 other conservatives besides myself. The younger teachers , for the most part , have liberal /leftist college educations and don't know much about anything . I had a classic education and i try to teach that way .
