Biden, Harris and Pelosi

         I pity the children you have mentally abused. 

I pity the children you have kidnapped and raped. Fuck you.

      Speak for yourself, psycho....

:)  I'll be the first one here if Joe gets booted early.  Until then.......we just painfully wait.  We could only hope that Harris had a good excuse like Joe does. 

No, teachers go into teaching so they can pretend to work a full-time job.   That's why our education system is so bad actually.  Especially the ones in urban areas. (look it up in almost every large city in the US)  At least in the suburbs we have a chance at 50% of the teachers giving a damn and doing a decent job.  But at the end of the day, there are no repercussions for poor teachers because of garbage unions.  And the good ones don't get recognized the way they should because of the same crap unions.  When that changes, yes then we may have better education in this country.  

All that is breathtakingly ignorant. Kind of unbelievable actually that you would say that.

I agree with you, teaching isn't a full-time job. It's MORE than a full-time job. I spent an average of 55 hours a week doing it. Are you so ignorant as to think that the only time a teacher spends working is when he or she is in the classroom with students? (And yeah, we got summer vacations. But the total hours worked in a year were far more than in a 9-to-5 job.)

There are PLENTY of repercussions for poor teachers, up to and including no longer being allowed to teach. You're just showing your ignorance when you say otherwise. But why should you actually know anything about the teaching profession? Not that your lack of knowledge keeps you from pontificating.

And if not for teachers' unions, we'd be getting paid even less than we are now. That would lead directly to a decrease in the availability of skilled teachers, which I assume would bother you.

I'm already alarmed at the low skill level, trust me.  

And your's is a teacher's perspective.  Mine is from a parent's. Guess which one is more realistic? They let you teach w the beliefs you squawk every day here about.  Enough said.  

The quality of teachers is different in every state.   All those evil-high-tax states have good teachers....because they get paid.   And they have good schools because they get funded.   And they have good GDP's per capita....because those educated students get good jobs.

Teachers in shit states like Mississippi get paid less than the produce manager at Kroger.    And Mississippi gets what they pay for...and the shitty educations and shitty job market to go with it.     

All those evil-high-tax states have good teachers....because they get paid. And they have good schools because they get funded.

Not quite.  Chicago spend almost $15k per student & NYC spends over $28k per student (the highest in the country.  NYC has lost over 121,000 students in the past year & they don't know where they all went.

f anything, New York’s public schools are mediocre — and none more so than New York City’s 1,800 non-charter schools. Sure, some are great — but most aren’t

What few high performing public schools NYC has left, have changed their requirements from educational performance to a lottery.

        As usual, PJ makes up unverifiable lies, as Tom has pointed out.

Which perspective is more realistic? That of those who actually engage in the profession.

I can't believe anyone would be so stupid as to think otherwise. It's like a parent thinking he knows more about medicine than his child's doctor (not that that's all that uncommon, unfortunately).

It's a foolish conservitard meme that teachers somehow "indoctrinate" students with their "beliefs." That only happens in the redneck asswipe shithole RepubliQ states.
