I agree that education is the parents #1 job and I agree that there are a lot of messed up parents, but I also think maybe I pay too much in taxes for the education system to just get a SKELETON. And when I entrust my child to those people for 6 hours I expect him to be treated right and respected. They need to stop giving teachers tenure so they can axe the ones that are doing permanent damage. We should get our tax money back so we can afford psycho therapy to right their wrongs and private tutors and lessons. I'm all for that.
And a side note, Red reiner, your situation is one of the reasons people should strike. Don't worry, I wouldn't run you over!
I think teachers get paid plenty, like $70,000 plus a year and they only work 9 months of it. If teachers weren't so hard to fire more would do the job they were hired for and you would be able to staff the schools with the best of them.
X2! And may I point out that some parents can't afford private tutors for all of their childs schooling and I know my son and I would have killed each other years ago if I had been financially able to stay at home and home school him. Seriously!!! I am not a good teacher. But I can get him tutors when he needs them. And I do.
