You do seem to have a lot of anger over this as you’ve even suggested “small issue”....which how many years now has it been since you had to -pay for others you think took advantage of your college finances? You said in the 80’s? Geez....40 some odd years... and I thought I held on to things.
No anger at all... just a frustration over stupidity.
I get the part of you grouping together all teachers who teach school in the US as being exactly the same. You’ve been a model student of Leftist media opinions presented as facts and I give you 100% score on believing everything you read in print by CSNBC.
Not at all... Actually, up until 12 years ago, I was pretty right wing. Then I realized that I didn't make enough money to vote Republican. The GOP keeps working class whites voting against their own economic interests through BULLSHIT issues like this one.
I’ll give you a bit of advice- every single person has a unique brain regardless of what the media has told you to believe. If you think all teachers are the same than it follows that all firefighters are the same, all pilots are the same, all engineers are the same, and all Democrats are the same. Do you believe these statements to be factual?
Nothing to do with my point. Actually, I'm kind of glad teachers suck at their jobs. I have a business that only does well because you guys suck at teaching people how to write.
I agree that there is a lot of dumbing down going on in the public schools throughout various states. Also, there are many schools which have been doing a great job with preparing kids to be life-long learners, focus on the development and utilization of critical thinking skills, and expect their students to take responsibly for their actions toward others.
Um. No. the real problem is that unlike most professions, it's damn well near impossible to fire an incompetent teacher. I guess I should be happy I got to go through Catholic Schools, but that just left me with a lifetime hatred of organized religion.
It is curious you’ve directed your anger at me with your comments so I figure you do this as your normal style of arguing a topic.
Stop being such a snowflake!!!
Let's say that you're right. That all public school teachers (approximately 3.2 million full-time) suck at their jobs and not one of them can be fired unless they commit some type of atrocious act. Considering what you are backing, that 3,200,000 people think, act, and believe exactly the same I have to ask you how you've arrived at such an obtuse opinion? In order to even make such a confounded statement would require that you've traveled for years, state to state, observing every single teacher in every single US public school. Most impressive!
Ah yes, writing skills. I used to tutor a few kids of varying ages who needed one-on-one sessions to catch up with their classmates during summers. The state in which I reside tests students on core content-primarily comprehension, writing, and math skills. Give a poor performing kid extra help and voila, he or she is able to not only catch up with their peers but can often exceed individualized goals. I cheer for these kids, do you? I'm thinking not lol
I have a hard time relating to posters who come across as drowning almost in "Oh, every thing is bad, all people are losers, and everyone is just alike" nonsense. Once our brains establish either deeper groves of negativity or deeper grooves of positivity, those are the "go-to grooves" our brains primilary uses. Which type of crevices do you suspect dwell inside your head....mostly? lol Sorry...I am feeling a little more feisty today and I come in peace!
Now, about me being a snowflake....there is absolutely no way I am a snowflake...I am more of a blob fish and I wouldn't have it any other way.
