Issue is when poor neighborhoods have the state put many of their students in charter schools, taking the funding with them.
Suddenly you can hardly afford textbooks let alone pay the teachers fairly
how much good would it do if we just got rid of teachers unions?
Bad idea.
That sounds like a budgeting problem, not a charter school problem
Fuck teachers unions
Teachers are one of the most important professions because they groom the future. But get paid shit.
My uncle just retired early because of that
Privatize all this shit
they don't get paid shit really, but yeah i'm with Fitz, most of this shit would be better privatized
My mother was going to get fucked over and not get her benefits because of her sabatical, so the union pressured the school board to pay out. I would probably be homeless.
She can barely walk.
He was threatened with a knife by a MIDDLE SCHOOL student, brought him to the priniple, the student was apologized to, my uncle reprimanded, and the the kids PARENTS threatened him in a parking lot after school
wtf?
She worked with inner city kids and put up with racist little black kids in foster care, that wouldn't listen to anything you told them.
Yeah sounds normal
*He teaches fucking music.*
haha
Happens all the time. The parent is the customer.
Fuck unions in general
Sort of, but not really
Gangsta Rap Classes
It's just social justice ideology on behalf of the union
That's the opposite of a union problem
The union should have led a lawsuit
no, that kid would be gone
Sounds like your uncle had a seriously fucked up union
Really? The union is the one telling him he can't punish the ~~black~~ under privileged students
π€
It's one of the largest in the country
I dunno, maybe shit's different now
Very
Veritas did a thing on them
Another issue I have with charter schools, is that their teachers don't typically do their own lessons. They get handed what to do and say.
That is a good way to introduce institutional bias into instruction.
We should pay teachers better, so more people would be willing to teach. And stop basing pay on performance of students. That leads to the smarter kids getting no attention.
You serious?
Absolutely.
Lemme explain
The budget here has like $15k per student per year in funding
