US Teachers Spend $459 of Their Own Money Each Year on Classroom Supplies

Perfect ...

That mechanic probably makes more than two teachers combined!

And he got those skills from where?

God given

No, I bet he learned them from a teacher or someone who was taught by a teacher.

Oh please..

You can't be taught that..

It's a gift

For some reason I got the gift of electronics and I never wanted it

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Teachers have been getting part time pay for full time work for about century.

Nonsense. Teachers are paid exactly what they are worth. They also know from the day they enroll in the School of Education (easiest of all) at any university precisely what their pay and benefits will be upon graduation.

I am glad you told us in advance that you would be posting nonsense.

Why did my retirement contribution get changed? Why did I find that when I switched states I would lose my social security?
Why did I find that in some schools I was not paid for required activities outside normal working hours? Why did my coaching stipend get cut constantly?

BTW, I graduated from college in 1984. I was not an education major like everyone assumes most teachers are. I did not become a teacher until 1996. No one told me the state would implement a requirement for me to have a Master's degree in order to keep my job, although I already had one.

So much for your assumptions.

Maybe you can't be taught that because you are stupid, but most people can.

Just because you have a lot of crayons does not mean you are an artist!

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

So you have bought into the lie that our students are all worse today than in the past?

Some are, but you need to put away that broad brush. Many kids today are getting a far superior education than you or I did. They just avail themselves of what is available.

Certainly not all but it is undeniable that our averages are plunging.

Averages based on what?

You obviously don't understand averages very well..

If you have 5 students take a test and 4 make a perfect score and one gets a zero, what is the average? That would be an 80 which is normally a C. So you are telling me those 4 students who got a 100% are "C" students?

Grow up.

I need to grow up because you suck at math and cannot discuss the topic rationally?

Typical.

You cant teach skills, you cant teach love, sure I can show you how to use a hammer or a multimeter.

But if you dont have the heart the god given talent.

Well you become like you a government employee, like you

Even Harvard had online classes. Stop it.

You stop it. People have no respect for online classes because they suck, no matter what the school. Obama was a constitutional law instructor but got slammed by his own Supreme Court. AOC supposedly has an education in economics and you know how stupid she is!

Cheating in online classes runs rampant.

AOC didn't take online classes she is just stupid.

How do you know ?

I never said she did, and I agree.

Sometimes even the best colleges can't fix stupid.

My wife is a BU grad too. Classes are fine but a lot of it is group work so you can ride someone else’s work.

Agreed. My daughter refused to do group work in high school and college. The teachers and professors always let her do her own work in a group of one!

On one hand you need to do group work because in real life rarely do you work solo. On the other hand the 80/20 rule applies and annoys people. At a school where I sit on the board, we force group members to rank one another post project work.

Yeah you became a useless government employee, because you couldn't hack it in the real world

You need to see a doctor right away. I think you have suffered a stroke!

I beg to differ. You work with people in a group but the end result is usually through your own efforts. There is one other person in my defense contractor that does my job. He is on day shift so he can be supervised. I work the night shift with no supervision and no one can do my job alone. If I am gone for whatever reason, it takes about 5 people to do what I do daily.

Perhaps it is just the military that works that way, but I found similarities in schools and in business.

Essentially subsidizing underfunded schools,teachers in the US spend an average of $459 on classroom supplies for which they are not reimbursed.

That being said, they have it relatively better than a lot of people in terms of benefits
and other public union advantages.

Some Police Departments don't supply bullets or leather, does this count. ? Take the cost off your $77,000.00 a year income. Liberal cry a lot over money they have but don't want to part with it.. Pretty weak story in my book.

If it's so great, why didn't you capitalize it like you're supposed to ?

Public schools are over funded, and over administrated. They also teach liberal democrat hate and bullshit from the sky is falling to america is the devil.

Home school is best.
