Loading ...I agree with you to the extent that there are some good teachers out there, and the quality varies a lot from school district to school district. I have some friends of mine, former military officers, who became teachers in the “troops to teachers program”… they are highly sought after as they are men, much needed in a female dominated profession and provide a male role model as they are more disciplined and offer much worldly experience. These guys are often used to instill a little discipline in the classroom too, something that is so important to the teaching process. Obviously parents are equally as important in the teaching of children and that is where the failures of our public education system are most evident in some cities with large numbers of one parent families. Teachers are hampered by very liberal policies in too many places and the rights of students have been extended way to far and that results in less effective teaching atmosphere. But it is the teachers unions, with their heavy liberal/progressive political policies that damage the profession. I saw a recent survey where many mainstream universities do not have a single professor that considers him/herself a conservative. I think the ratio of educators that are conservatives on campus is about 10%. Thus the liberal echo chamber in our education system perpetuates the problems of our younger people who feel that they are owed something, cheating is OK, and that the government is the solution to all of our problems.
