[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think we will very soon learn that the only thing needed for education is a good teacher, chalk and a black board. Our education system isn't failing because it's not well funded enough. It's failing because these kids have way too many corporate backed distractions. [/quote]

And we all know that Trump is planning on supporting teachers by increasing their pay and benefits, because that's how you get good teachers.

I can't even type that with a serious face. [/quote]

Many of the good teachers have already quit or retired because of burnout due to chaos and enforcing woke policies. Many of the newer ones can't even write competently so they have no business grading essays. Arguing for blanket pay raises makes no sense. If you say that only good teachers should get paid more because this will incentivize more competent people to also become teachers, most people will be on board.[/quote]

How do you measure teacher quality?  Standardized tests?  Student questionnaire?  Admin observation? Student growth?  Parent feedback?  Who will take on this task?  I can see a ton of lawsuits ahead. 
It is more than the “woke” stuff that  is pushing teachers away from this career. Obnoxious parents, violent students, loads and loads of paperwork, lack of planning time, lack of respect and exhaustion come to mind. [/quote]

Who cares about teacher quality? The teacher is only there with the kid for several hours. There’s too much grading the graders.

Part of the problem is the micro management and obsession with assessment after assessment. Students shouldn’t take standardized tests outside of the SAT and an entrance exam for magnet programs in high school and kindergarten/nursery school entrance exams. [/quote]
