I can think of probably two or three teachers in my entire life that shouldn't have been teachers. 0 so far for my daughter.It’s fun that if the schools fail at their task, the solution isn’t to fire the “educators” but to give them more tax-payer money. Rinse and repeat.So essentially the premise of government school is:
The public provide money to the schools, and in exchange the schools provide education to the public.
Seeing the results, I think the public is due a refund due to breach of contract on the part of the schools.
Public schools are "failing" is a mantra that isn't demonstrated to much satisfaction. There is a propensity for people to point to private schools which cost a lot of money, yet those schools cherry pick students which leads to higher grades for them, but lower in the public school the cherry picking was done.
