I will now refer to you as Dr. Wackadoo and nothing else.

Good day Dr. Wackadoo!

Dr. Wackadoo

I'm a believer that dealing with the kids isn't the problem. It's dealing with the administration and the parents that are usually the problem.

THIS

totally

Teachers are representative of the community they serve.
If the teachers in your school suck...chances are you and you your community suck.


As for "education" majors. Used to be 4 years of whatever (insert History\English\etc majors) followed by a Masters in Education (get yo lesson plan on and discover how much you hate children. then decide you want to do special needs stuff because "thats where the jobs are\ be able to pull the "make a difference" card)

Then they go roaming around trying to get jobs at good school districts, only to be rejected because they were a dime a dozen.

Meanwhile, those who did their undergrad in Math or(insert science here) and then went for the masters are cashing in on the lulz.
Those who did a double major in both Math and Science get a free "touch a child while doped up on weed" card.


In all seriousness, the problem with schools today are rooted in parents.

BITCH BITCH BITCH
SUE SUE SUE
VOTE VOTE VOTE

Testing testing testing
bullshit bullshit bullshit.



Now all those teachers wanted to actually educate are being told....no no no. You need to get the little fucknuts to do well on all the standardized testing. Focus on the numbers. Focus on results!! Have a cookie FYI...we can't afford school supplies or poorly written bullshit textbooks from christfag Texas schoolbook publishers because we spent all our money on these here computers. Even though all these little brats have computers in the home and could easily go to the public library if they didn't, some old shithead said we need to computerize everything because Tron is going to happen and the kids need to be prepared.

So after 2-3 years the dream of every Teacher is not to teach the little bastard children raised on "eco save the planet cartoons" and soda, its to get a job in administration.




I'm just kidding.

The problem with the education system is the same as with hospitals.
The problem is that they are primarily run by women.
Any industry run by women is bound to be fucked up.

That about sums it up. If your not enough of a parent to make sure your kids do well, dont blame the fucking teachers.

If I have kids, they will do well in school, or they will be cut off from everything they enjoy. Marks improve, they get their life back. And if they truly have academic problems, they will get whatever help they need, at whatever the cost.

Most people dont realize that the best thing they can give their child, is an education.

So, this means that if the average reading and math scores were 60 and 60, they have now risen to 72 and 62, respectively. Still weaksauce. :ws:

Teachers are dime a dozen, there are tons of 'em willing to move hundreds of miles to take a job.

Whether stated seriously or not, this resonates with me. I frequently hear profs talking about parents, as I travel around campus. When little Johnny gets a D or, heaven forfend he actually FAILS, the parents truck themselves in to talk with the prof, or department head. What are they asking? It's not, "How can we help Johnny to be better?" Instead it's, "Johnny can't fail. He needs that mark to do well when he graduates. YOU WILL CHANGE THAT MARK!"

This is the one time i'd like to be a teacher, to deal with idiot parents.

"He can change it himself, next year, when he does the course again!"

Oddly enough, that has been said ;)
