What exactly is your point? That because I am gainfully employed as a public school teacher I am not allowed to discuss the problems I currently see in that system? Is that the way it works in your world - that if you have a job you aren't allowed to try to make it better? Work more efficiently? More accurately achieve its goal? You just have to say, "Thank GOD I have this job." And take it as it is?
Sorry...I disagree. I love teaching. I value and respect my profession. But I don't enjoy the public schools failing...and they are, just like many businesses nowadays. But rather than simply asking for a government bailout...I don't think the public schools need more money. I think we need to take a good look at what is happening in these institutions of learning and FIX them. My post in this thread was to discuss some of those problems and how the "fix" for all of them is NOT more testing, firing all the teachers, etc. For some of these problems...I think we're going to have to say to some teachers, some kids and their parents - Aut dosce, aut disce, aut discede.
Nevertheless, it provides you with steady gainful employment.
