Yes, you are not getting what YOU deserve. However, those who are deliberately dragging their feet in the system will cause you to get what THEY deserve. If people think that no consequence will result from laziness and a lack of desire to work and produce, they seek to make God a liar. Let's see who wins.

I could write a complete essay on this subject. However, the people who do not want the standards lifted are cold-blooded. You have not idea to what degree they are cold-blooded. If someone determines that I've given detailed information as to what is going on...I'll never teach again. I've even posted here on Free Republic asking for help to find a job outside of the teaching profession and got very little help.

Approaching despair.

wow, that's really very sad what you say about the teaching profession. I know we've got a big problem in education; What people don't understand is that many times americans overcome the disadvantages they get in grades 1-12 when they get to college. But these people are still behind the curve and can't catch up to get the high powered credentials valued in the market now. It is very sad, from americans' point of view we are just sand-bagged in every way by our own people.

That's why I'm for vouchers. We need freedom in education industry or else we will be second rate. The elite in america doesn't care if the bulk of americans have second rate schools in grades 1-12. As long as children of the upper income get good schools, then they're OK with it. As long as the corps can import h1b's, then they think that's OK.

I'm aware that lots of people leave the teaching profession because either they can't take the political correctness or because they're frustrated with how the bureaucracy doesn't allow high quality. So it is really poor management that is protecting its position and pursuing its ideological agenda and discouraging these good teachers in the process. Then the management is claiming they can't find teachers and they're demanding we import docile foreigners to do the job. We are importing some teachers today because of the alleged teacher shortage.

The same exact thing is happening with h1b in high tech only on a much larger scale. They will do this with nurses too. As the conservative intellectual, James Burnham, predicted 40 years ago, the managerial class is going to walk all over everybody.
