the biggest problem with public schools is

...You represent the teacher's pov, I the students. ...

No you don't.

BS. Some Americans voted a convicted felon for presiidency. The people who did that are the problem, not the public schools.

Wow, the current president has been in office for a few months, and already he's responsible for problems decades old. I know the guy is powerful, but that's a real stretch.

No, it's not. You post ignorant nonsense based on imagination and fading memories.

Fading memories: Classroom discipline (intellectual, not behavioral).

 

[Woodznutz]

No you don't.

I was a student for 13 years. I think I know them. Human nature hasn't changed since I was in school, and there are more distractions.

You still don't know what you're talking about.

if you cannot see that is exactly the same thing, you have a mental defect yourself. Nutz is definitely the correct part of your username.

The inability to learn, especially something simple and understandable, suggests a learning disability.

More like you don't know what I'm talking about. I've read many of your posts describing your teaching experience. You are in bubble, called 'special ed'.

I think you haven't set foot in a classroom in 50+ years and have no idea what you're talking about.

Which of us has been teaching for 30 years?

Are kids still getting A's through F's? Then little has changed.

My comments mainly concern learning, not teaching.

"Some drink deeply at the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle."

I'm talking about the garglers. Heck, even Admiral Rockwell Tory blames the students.

Education has gone downhill. You could take a lesson from us.

Things That Have Changed in Education over the Last 50 Years

Education in state schools seems to have stayed the same for so many years now. However, the reality is that it often changes all the time on a minor basis. Maybe not as fast as some may want it too, but it does. Things have changed dramatically in the last 50 years in economic growth …

And the two couldn't possibly be related....

You are defending the teaching profession. Can you defend students equally? Are they doing their best to learn what they are being taught?

Doesn't matter. You teachers are up to your ass in alligators that teachers in my day didn't face. Somehow you lost your authority.

"Us"? 80+ year olds sitting in the common room guessing at things they know nothing about?

So, all the information about the state of education today is false?

The beauty of the internet is that you can find out stuff, the current state of education for example. Heck, it's even on the evening news (how bad it is).

No I'm not. I'm pointing out your ridiculous ignorance.

My students are.
