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.
Since 1970, the public school workforce has roughly doubled—to 6.4 million from 3.3 million—and two-thirds of those new hires are teachers or teachers' aides.
I wonder how many of those teachers are actually in the classroom. How many teachers aides did they have in 1970? Biggest thing that needs to be done for almost all public school systems is review how many administrators they have and get rid of the excess number, it will make balancing the budget much easier.
What I don't understand is how Barry demands that the government needs to hire more teachers, when its the districts themselves that do the hiring according to their needs.
Another zero rant that goes nowhere when you understand the truth behind it.
On average education majors have the lowest SAT and GRE scores on campus. So....If you know a really smart teacher, somewhere out there in Educationland is a really dumb teacher that is averaging out the averages. Scary to think about. Isn't it?
Next...Nearly any teacher working for more than a year in the government's socialist-entitlement schools is a LIAR! Why do I say that? Reason: The number of functional illiterates and innumerates who are awarded high school diplomas and then go on to fail their military entrance exams. ALL of these teachers and principals should be criminally prosecuted for defrauding the parents, the child, and the taxpayers, and then hit with a massive class action suit that would financially leave them completely destitute.
