There are stupid lazy kids whose parents do not give a **** all across the country so you do not have a point.
Sure I do. Doesn't matter where they are in the country. The point remains the same: you need to be careful in blaming the teachers all the time, because often, those kids, parents, and environments are a huge part of the problem. World class chef cannot make a turd sandwich into a gourmet feast.
A teacher's job is to teach.Which is why its automatically the teacher's fault.
Yes, there is a job is to teach. You want magicians who can wave a magic wand and peform Jesus miracles on bad kids, from bad homes, who probably aren't that smart, or are far behind. Yea, because when I get kids who can barely read, I am supposed to teach them at a 12th grade history level. You need to put down the water bong or something. If they are that far behind when I get them, short of God riding down on a beam of light and changing their skill level, I will make very little headway, and so will any other teacher.
WOuld you continue to hire a maid who did a lousy job?
LOL. What an hilariously false analogy. A maid can force clothes into a drier. She can do the dishes without them refusing to be be washed. The dust can't say no. They don't think. You have nearly absolute control over the work you're dealing with. A teacher cannot make lazy, bad, or stupid kids work or smarter, no matter how hard they try.
Teachers inherently have very little control and power over the object of their profession.
When there is a significant portion of students failing it most likely the teachers and school administrators, not the kids.
That's an assumption, but not a fact. The best chef cannot make a First Rate meal out of cow sh*t. Doesn't matter how many Chefs you cycle through. If you start with bad ingredients, the best Chef will fail.
Upward of 70% of kids fail in many hard science programmes. That's hardly the professor's fault for their inability to learn. When students perform poorly, the problem may indeed rest with the students. You've clearly never been in a real classroom of any sort, where the kids refuse to do anything, don't care, and tell you "shut up white boy fag." I have. I have been there. I have taught in it. You are sorely misinformed. When you have to waste upward of 40% of the class time fighting with or coaxing ghetto kids to even try to read a single passage in a textbook, you cannot possibly get anywhere. Try discipline? It doesn't work, because the kids are not afaid of it, and the parents don't care.
I tired everything. I tried reasoning with the little zoo animals. I tried detentions. I tried contacting the office. I tried to convince them to work. Nothing worked. They outright REFUSED to do things from day one. They had zero interest in learning, they did not want to be there, so it was ultimately pointless. You cannot make COLLEGE age kids do their work or study (which I have also seen first hand), so expecting a teachers to make teens do it is asinine wishful thinking.
NO one wants toteach these people, because when they inevitably fail, the teacher will get blamed, regardless. That's why you have a shortage of teachers to teach the worst areas. No one wants to play that game.
Teachers should not be passing unqualified students.
Parents want to get what they want. It's people like you who believe it's always the teachers' fault and that little johnny can do no wrong. Hence the birth of grade inflation. Teachers get tired of being harassed by whiney parents who demand better grade for kids who just aren't good.
You can't fix lousy incompetent teachers with more money. You get rid of them and hire new teachers. Throwing money at lousy teachers makes as much sense as giving a dumb blond a speak and spell. It won't make them better.
And many of the "new" teachers have the same problem, because the same false assumption is that all the teachers are bad. You can replace a good teacher with another good teacher, but if the same kids are stupid and bad, you're just going to play musical chairs.
While there certainly are some bad teachers, and theys hould not teach, the problem is vastly exaggerated, because no one wants to face the hard truth: a lot of people are just stupid, bad students, and no parent wants to take personal resonsibility. THey are in denial. Again, the best chef in the world cannot turn a sh*t sandwich into filet mignon. I have been there. I have seen what the problem is. Even good teachers have large numbers of kids that do not perform well, because the kids lack the skills, the intelligent, and the motivation to learn. A teacher is not going to fix that, unless the problem isn't that servere in the first place.
There were many teachers in my field observations who did everything by the book, and yet...the kids failed.
