The education system is the reason this country is in the dirt. The world is laughing at our “curriculum”. How can we take pride in the average student, let alone the student body as a whole? Public schools are jokes.
I have a very different view of college teachers. College professors, (in every college) need real qualifications, and are therefore very educated. College professors teach people who are curious, which makes for new ideas and debates. I love it when I challenge professor’s ideas, because it allows me to explore my point of view, and theirs, whom I respect very much.
REAL teachers in high school are one in a million
I've had maybe two or three teachers in my entire public school education which genuinely knew the subject matter and explained it students with a certain level of intelligence and passion. 95% of my teachers have stuck to the bare minimums of the “curriculum”. I've had enough substitute professors in my college career where I can count them on one hand. I've never had a substitute in college who just gave us a “worksheet”.. No sir, I had to whip out my notebook and be ready for a full-blown lecture, which was usually more work than the regular class itself. In high school, the “sub” was synonymous with a “free period”. People ate, talked and ultimately did whatever they wanted to for 40 minutes to an hour.
Do you know how the education system works? I do.
The reason that marked attendance is crucial in public schools is that for every day the school is populated, the more money it gets from the government! The more people in the school, the more money the school gets. I am sure it is similar in college, but even though everyone struggles to pay a $3,000 tuition per semester, the government subsidizes it heavily. The real cost of per-student tuition in a CUNY, as C.S.I. is closer to $15,000 per semester.
Wonder why public school teachers care about your attendance? BREAKING NEWS: THEY DON’T. They are told to take attendance by a higher authority, the same people who are in charge of the schools finances. I paid my bill for C.S.I. this semester. If I don’t go to class, then I’m not using $15,000 of the governments resources, and nobody could give a damn. Why?
Because for every student who doesn’t go to class but does pay tuition, hundreds of people are fighting for the same spot who will make use of the money, and the education system.
I wouldn’t hold my own against the knowledge and experience or wisdom of a college-grade professor, but some of the “teachers” in high school (which is where it counts the most, by the way) are just jokes.
Anybody can be a public school teacher. I hold no shame in saying that. They know who they are.
My immigration test was more difficult than some of the courses I had to take in my public education years. We need more college professors teaching less college and more high school.
