| That Guy said: This became an interesting topic on like page 20 of another thread, and I think it deserves its own thread. Obviously the US Education system needs fixing. Kids keep falling through the cracks, Teachers are overworked and underpaid. Incompetant teachers with tenure are pretty much untouchable due to crazy union laws. How would YOU fix it? |
I disagree with this statement. In my experience a great many teachers are pretty much failures. In my school years I had maybe 3 teachers that had an actual interest in their students and would qualify as "overworked".
Just think about the job they do, they always get weekends off, they get a 3 month vacation every year, and they get all (if not Most) holidays off. Their job is important no doubt about it, but Teachers, atleast day-wise work less than anyone else.
I think in high school we were in class about 190 days a year, that means they were working about the same. That's half the year off.
