Teachers are one of the most important professions because they groom the future. But get paid shit.

2018-12-24 21:04:29 UTC  

My uncle just retired early because of that

2018-12-24 21:04:43 UTC  

Privatize all this shit

2018-12-24 21:05:26 UTC  

they don't get paid shit really, but yeah i'm with Fitz, most of this shit would be better privatized

2018-12-24 21:05:37 UTC  

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.

2018-12-24 21:06:05 UTC  

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

2018-12-24 21:07:04 UTC  

wtf?

2018-12-24 21:07:06 UTC  

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.

2018-12-24 21:07:13 UTC  

Yeah sounds normal

2018-12-24 21:07:15 UTC  

*He teaches fucking music.*

2018-12-24 21:07:20 UTC  

haha

2018-12-24 21:07:33 UTC  

Happens all the time. The parent is the customer.

2018-12-24 21:07:35 UTC  

Fuck unions in general

2018-12-24 21:07:35 UTC  

was this in the ghetto or something?

2018-12-24 21:07:52 UTC  

Sort of, but not really

It's just social justice ideology on behalf of the union

2018-12-24 21:08:08 UTC  

That's the opposite of a union problem

2018-12-24 21:08:22 UTC  

The union should have led a lawsuit

2018-12-24 21:08:45 UTC  

no, that kid would be gone

2018-12-24 21:08:48 UTC  

Sounds like your uncle had a seriously fucked up union

2018-12-24 21:08:52 UTC  

Really? The union is the one telling him he can't punish the ~~black~~ under privileged students

2018-12-24 21:09:06 UTC  

πŸ€”

2018-12-24 21:09:10 UTC  

It's one of the largest in the country

2018-12-24 21:09:26 UTC  

I dunno, maybe shit's different now

2018-12-24 21:09:32 UTC  

Very

2018-12-24 21:09:38 UTC  

Veritas did a thing on them

2018-12-24 21:10:49 UTC  

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.

2018-12-24 21:11:23 UTC  

That is a good way to introduce institutional bias into instruction.

2018-12-24 21:12:28 UTC  

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.

2018-12-24 21:12:40 UTC  

You serious?

2018-12-24 21:12:47 UTC  

Absolutely.

2018-12-24 21:12:53 UTC  

Lemme explain

2018-12-24 21:13:03 UTC  

The budget here has like $15k per student per year in funding

2018-12-24 21:13:20 UTC  

They look at the average scores of a class to judge a teacher on. Sounds great right?

2018-12-24 21:13:31 UTC  

Teachers get like $45k/yr, plus a vacation

2018-12-24 21:14:10 UTC  

Sounds like you've been hoovering up the Leftist talking points about our schools

2018-12-24 21:14:13 UTC  

Problem is, the best way to raise the scores, is to focus on the students with the worst scores. Raise the low scores and you look like your doing really well.

2018-12-24 21:14:30 UTC  

The administrators make 6 figures a year

2018-12-24 21:14:45 UTC  

In reality you're focusing on a minority of the classroom, and the best students don't excel.
