Teachers do not give a damn about the children. Teachers are undereducated fools and many are just plain illiterate. The education they receive is in the form of leftist indoctrination sandwiched between classes in how to make bulletin boards. They are not professionals since they belong to unions. They should never be treated as professionals since they never improve. They do not strive for success or achievement. The evidence is clear. Just look at standardized test scores when compared to many other nations that are clearly ahead of the United States. All they care about is their time off and fat pensions. They are takers, not makers. Scum of the earth.
The state of New York recently passed a law requiring prospective school teachers to take a literacy test to get their license, but repealed it the following year because 36 percent of whites, 54 percent of Hispanics and 59 percent of blacks failed.
