Rant about education, Education is too important to leave to educators, we need teachers! We know that teacher are necessary but they demand so much. When I was in school and when my kids were in school, teachers made much more money and had better benefits than the families in their classroom. (and had summer off for part-time jobs) I don't know the solution, but when educators control the system the system dies. Look at any big city school system. Take the example of Wisconsin or California! We can't throw money at it but it does take money to hire bodies.
When parents are required to be the prime teacher of their children, why send them to an educator 8 hours a day to have them come home to do all the work. We hire people to teach our children and they send home school work that has to be done. What I couldn't learn at school my parents couldn't teach me. They just didn't know! If I had a child in school now I would have to relearn everything just to keep up. I don't know how a minimum wage parent has the energy to teach their kids all night after working all day. How can you expect parents who are not educated to school their own children.
Things are getting tough, years ago the average worker just needed a high school diploma to get a good life long job. Today only 6% of jobs require only a high school diploma. In some cities 60% of students are dropping out prior to graduation. What are those people going to do for jobs? Are we creating a really permanent underclass. Round and round it goes, Many teachers are hard working loving leaders of our children, they deserve our respect and an honest wage. Should the taxpayer support them above their on level? How many questions with no answer?
