Libtards are retarded and live in their own fantasy world

If you think shitty teachers should get paid 200K a year, open up your wallet and agree to pay $6000 in property taxes per $100,000 of your home value.

i know a lot of people who shouldn't get paid nearly what they are paid in their profession. However, i don't base that on the individual, more about the the vast majority of those in that profession. There are some teachers who are POS, but many who are not. To use the outlier as the norm is about as ignorant as saying teachers aren't smart enough to do another job.

Teachers should be paid a good living wage, IE 30k is not a living wage for a 4 year degree. I know many with masters who are making 40k a year. Sorry, but I think that's ridiculous.

I also know "financial advisors" aka, insurance pushers who makes 75k. Who is really doing society good?

I couldn't make it past the third or fourth paragraph because I have a low tolerance for faggy unrealistic idealism, but a few points:


Teacher's unions aren't the devil some make them out to be, but they need to stop protecting bad teachers, or they need to be forced to do that. Somehow.

Teachers should be paid more, but the school year should also be longer. The Japanese go to school 200 days a year. Our year is about 180 days. Cut out the ridiculous 10 to 12 week break in the summer so kids can retain more. That will cut out waste and improve efficiency.


One local public school here has a Mexican American services coordinator or some shit, African American " ", Indian " ", and they'll probably have a LBGT liaison making 45,000 a year for talking to four gay kids once a week. Guess what? No librarian. Cut out waste like this.

Charter schools are a complete scam. There are a couple around here that are nerd magnet schools, the rest are either niche or they take all the miscreants. We used to have reform and military schools for losers. The bottom line is they don't perform any better than regular public schools. My brother taught at one for five or six years & never received a raise. Before you say, "Bill, Maybe your brother just sucked at teaching!", he talked to several other teachers at the same school & they confirmed he never gave raises. The guy was just pocketing the money. State money. It's a scam. They do no better.

I will also regurgitate Purple J's pt. about critical thinking. It's a little better, but it's still lacking.

Cry me a fucking river. There are plenty of 4 year degrees that come with actual skills that aren't making a living wage. My gf is a UW business school grad and has her MBA and makes about 45k. I think teachers need to follow through on their whining and nail themselves to their crosses until they bleed out.

The difference is that in her career she will escalate her salary and likely be making 3 times that within 15 years. Teachers will not see any similar escalation. If the teacher market was truly a free market for salary than maybe it's a fair comparison, but it isn't b/c teachers are stuck on a pay scale regardless of their actual value.
