Just think how good the kiddies could learn with a few trillion more in the hands of those courageous teachers unions....... Lol
Control, plain and simple. Have to control the dumbmasses.I was viewing the TV and an ad for Governor came on the tube. He talked about fracking in the state and how PA is the only state that does not tax the profits from fracking. He said he would change that. So far I am with him. Then he says, sitting in a classroom with kids, that he would then make sure that education was fully funded for a change.
At that point I realized he was just saying BS. The governor doesn't say what is taxed or not that is still a legislative issue. I do know that the governor we have now balanced the budget without raising income tax.
My point in all of this, is education, like most government programs, a bottomless pit? We continue to spend more and more on education but politicians tell us we need to keep spending more and more.
What say you?
the instant that a politician starts spilling the 'for the kids' or the fire/police/public parks lines it is a bald faced lie. A lie that they willingly spew right into your face.
That is nothing more than a convenient way to fleece more cash out of the people. We need to STOP spending more in education and start spending what we have more efficiently. We do not have a funding problem - we have a bureaucratic problem and the more that the feds get involved the worse off we are getting.

A young talented person who wants to be a teacher is frankly wasting their time and tossing away a much higher earning potential to be stuck at a whopping salary of maybe 60 thousand some day. I hear everyone gripe about education and how bad the teachers are. Then again a very smart talented person with the ability to be a good effective teacher is not going to teach when they can go into the private sector and do much much better. Then we have the "we have to be more accountable" and test more. So now I hope all those that love this testing are happy with the fact that many days per year are spent testing. Then we say "don't teach to the test" that is the dumbest most HYPOCRITICAL statement I've ever heard. If you are going to be judged on "tests" then you had BETTER BE teaching solely to the test. Finally, kids today that I see.... tied to their technology. They see violence and sex on TV all night. Many kids come from broken homes, etc. Basically I see society as a mess. And we tell schools to fix all this. Too big of job for a school. As stated above..parental involvement, holding KIDS more accountable, higher standards are all needed. But its going to take a concerted effort by all parties involved.
Is that teaching or undoing what their parents have instilled in them by Gubmint and Union edict?That is beside the point. You want the best and brightest teaching or not? Should those people be told "you should teach" when they can do far far better in the private sector? Why should they sacrifice to "help their country" or some kind of bs like that? How much should a CEO who does none of the actual labor make? Same concept. To me the time means nothing. If you have a skill that is needed or desired then you should seek out higher wages and better benefits without giving thought to "helping out.". That's the way the system is designed.
Absolute nonsense. Teachers get summers off (which a lot of people would kill for) have great beifits and make good money (60k is chump change to you? You have no clue what it's like in the private sector. Comparing it to a CEO that makes billion dollar decisions is just stupid. The unions protect the lower rung elements so they don't get weed out and the trend seems to be more on self esteem these days that acedemia.That is beside the point.
