The kids should be taught HOW to think, not WHAT to think. It's their future. Selfish move by the "teachers".

I agree. But they don't teach thinking anymore.

You don't need much for a good teacher to teach reading and math in K-5.

But home schooling, vouchers, and cutting educational budgets isn't going to help.

Throwing more money at Education isn't going to make things better. Politically correct, whitewashed, and racial slur corrected history lessons won't cut it. Editing the word nigger out of "Tom Sawyer" won't make the word go away. Listened to any Rap music lately?

School districts get per diem for every uninterested kid they can put in the seats. I know great teachers in mid-thirties that are so burned out....they can hardly bear it with all the politics and bs they face every day

I think some teachers in some districts get it from three directions: administration, disinterested parents who refuse to raise kids that take responsibility for themselves, and mouthy lazy kids. No Child Left Behind ended up doing harm, not good. That was a shame.

But look what the school board is doing in Wake County, North Carolina: they are deintegrating incredibly successful schools.

When the Govt. meddles in things they usually don't get better. Just more expensive.

The teachers in Wisconsin are 28th in the nation by their level of pay and benefits, but they are #1 in the nation in amount of children they get graduated from high school.
