Americans have the most expensive schools anywhere and the worst results for it in the west. The last thing we should do is pay government teachers more
Here's the problem. (And I SHOULD HAVE A LITTLE [Unwelcome language removed] STREET CRED ON THIS BECAUSE I AM A CONSERVATIVE AND THE FIRST MOTHERFCKER TO CALL OUT UNDERACHIEVERS IN THIS FIELD.) Not that I'm being emotional or anything.
I have worked as a substitute teacher for many years. I've had opportunities to see the problem in ways regular teachers haven't seen because I've been able to work for many different schools. And every school, culturally, is almost a different country.
The problem is not the teachers. Right now McDonald's treats its employees better than local school districts treat teachers.
Thing is, if you are on the job and you develop better skills, you are paid more. If you are taking over more responsibilities, you are paid more. If the job becomes more difficult, you are paid more.
That's the way it is in the private sector, right?
Here's the deal (and this is for conservatives and liberals.) I'm going to give you the facts and I don't give a rat fuckk whether you like it or not. I know what I'm talking about, so maybe how about everybody just shut the fck up and pay attention for a change.
1. Show me some evidence that ALL teachers are underperformers in college. I know differently. (Yes, some lawyers are underperformers in college, which is why they then run for public office. That explains such idiots as Bill Clinton, Hitlary Clinton and the Obama: three stooges who couldn't make a living in the profession of law. So don't point your [Unwelcome language removed] critical eye at schoolteachers when pretty much EVERY Congressman who is a lawyer is a FAILURE at the profession of law and needed to run for public office to make a [Unwelcome language removed] living.)
2. To bring all of you up to speed, the vast majority of teacher salaries are decided AT THE COUNTY LEVEL. I found this out while working different counties. Some counties pay more than others. The federal government has nothing to do with the differing rates of pay. Neither does the state.
3. Teachers very often sign up at a certain rate of pay for a certain job. Then ass sniffing yahoos in Washington get a wild hair up their asses and decide to mandate a shit load of new regulations and new requirements for local teachers, which then drag them out of class and create a demand for MY services as a sub.
3. Teachers get a heavier work load every year WITHOUT A CORRESPONDING RAISE IN PAY. Even the most ignorant high school dropout motherfuckerz who work at McDonalds get a raise after 90 days. Teachers get larger classes and more and more items they somehow have to squeeze in their limited schedule. (I've seen it. I know) And they are held accountable for failures. This includes the IDIOT states who put kids in a classroom who don't even speak [Unwelcome language removed] ENGLISH. Would you like to be held accountable for that? Huh????
4. Spoiled brats show up in class with $300 designer running shoes and no pencils, no supplies. Take a guess who buys those supplies. No, the school district doesn't require teachers to do this. But after a while of dealing with this little fuckking MORONS, the teachers decide it's easier just to take the money out of their own [Unwelcome language removed] pockets and buy the supplies those idiot students AND THEIR [Unwelcome language removed] IDIOT PARENTs are too fcking cheap to supply.
5. Bottom line, if you want to know the problem in American education, it ISN'T the lack of funding for education. It ISN'T teachers not willing to do the job. (I've seen teachers in the lounge during lunch and they don't take a [Unwelcome language removed] break from the job. They don't talk about the news, about the weather, about their private lives. They talk about THE GODDAM JOB.) The problem with education is (a) the goddam lazy ass PARENTS, who treat the public school system like a free daycare center, and (b) [Unwelcome language removed] politicians who have no [Unwelcome language removed] idea what they're talking about because NONE of those [Unwelcome language removed] motherfckers have EVER stood before an actual public school class in their entire shit-for-brains political careers.
You wanna fix education? Here's a tip: (a) DON'T vote for any politician who thinks the problem can be solved at the federal level. (b). Let the schools have autonomy in being able to FLUNK the lazy shits and suspend and expel the problem students. And be ready to tell certain parents to go fuckk themselves when they try to defend little Johnny, who just assaulted a goddam police officer. (Yes, I've seen that happen. ESE student was never suspended for that attack.)
You got time for some horror stories? I've got an ass load. I can fill up several forums.
