How often do you read about high school graduates who can barely read? How often do you read about US students who know little about geography, history and who are deplorably deficient in mathematics and sciences? Weekly? Daily?
Max says much too often.
And how often do you hear that if only we paid (the same underperforming) teachers more that our problems would be solved? Constantly!
Time to abolish tenure and pay for results.
Time to abolish "education" degrees for people who should know about history, science, literature and mathematics!
Time to hold schools at all levels accountable for results, not just for meeting for a required number of days per year.
But back to the pay question. Why would increasing the salaries of mediocre teachers improve education? It wouldn't unless the lazy edumacators are arguing that the allegedly poor pay is damaging their precious egos to such a degree that they are unwilling or unable to impart all this divine knowledge to the children of the communities who foot the bill for these silly part-timers.
Educators and education administrators at all levels NEED to be held responsible for poor results including the hideous practice of encouraging kids to take out loans to remain unemployable.
OCCUPY EDUCATION!
