Unfortunately, many of the teachers are morons, who have taken endless, countless courses in such idiotic arcana as “Lesson Planning” and other useless tommyrot, while, at the same time having little knowledge of their subject.
Moreover, far too many are dedicated and doctrinaire Leftists, more interested in indoctrinating the young in a peculiar variety of Marxism which asserts in an utterly tiresome manner that, “Marxism could work if only it were done right.”
As all such idiots, they like to pretend that the failures of the USSR, Red China, Vietnam, Cuba, Cambodia, and on and on, never happened or were somehow anomalous.
That would be bad enough; however they also seek to instill in the young their warped values and childish view of history.
America needs far fewer such characters, not more of them.
America has too many people who can’t teach pretending to be teachers.
Privatize education—all of it.
In our small town elementary school, there are more school personnel who are not teachers than actual classroom teachers.
The problem in my humble opinion is we have too few teachers and far too many union members....
Teachiing at one time was considered a “calling” as in your life had a higher purpose ....
Now most teachers are basically union tools....
They are not educated to “educate”- they are educated to “transform”. Scan a book list at a College near you in education department - particularly at the Graduate level, and look for Friere & Dewey. The goal of “transformative education” is not education - but social change, the same as the messiah in th White House.
And if you look at the values of our young ones passed to them by government education - it is working, especially as illustrated by the youth vote in 2008.
It’s not the teachers, it’s the administrators....you could get rid of 90% of them and not miss a beat.

There, that's more like it!
I don’t know about teachers, but definitely too many administrators. There are something three administrators for every teacher in educational districts.
Wrong headline. America has too many “educators” and way too few teachers.
