[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]seriously, PP?

Show me your source, and I'll believe you.

I would love to post this comment for all of my teacher friends to view, as they would clearly get a good laugh at a fool like you.

Thanks for representing the 1% of parents who are truly idiots.[/quote]

Even most idiots recognise that American public school education does not attract the best of the intellectual or academic talent into public school teaching.  And most idiots recognise a significant problem with the American public school system are the teachers (or lack thereof) -- simply going through the motions from a template.  And most idiots know it is the quality of the students that makes the teachers or the school in the American public education system as many of these students would be stellar if they simply stayed at home and used those amply resources.

What do these facts make you?  Please share these thoughts with your colleagues.  I'm sure many of them will acknowledge this.  You are why the "entitled" teaching dead wood should be overhauled.

Unfortunately, most capable middle school students have more expertise in mathematics and science as any of the K-5 MCPS teachers I have encountered with 4 childrens (4 schools)  And you of all persons ( a dinasour) wonder why the public school systems in America are circling the drain?  Fifteen to 30 years from now it wouldn't surprise me if your system largely goes the way of the US postal service, print newspapers and network  TV.

So, if you realize the education your 4 children received was crap, why, with all of your intelligence (not spelling ability) did you continue to send them to such substandard schools?  I am an elementary teacher who went to a good university and received top grades and went on to an equally good school to get my Master's degree.  We are quite limited by the curriculum and the pace of it.  I'd love to delve deeper into many different topics that my students are interested in but cannot in most cases due to time.  The pacing guides are quite ridiculous and leave me little time for much else.  I also happen to teach the lowest ability learners so they need more repetition to learn most concepts.  The higher ability classes are the ones with more time.  Yes, there are problems in education but talk to most teachers and you will realize that they are all highly educated.  I am a few classes away from my second Master's degree and many of my colleagues already have their second.  In many cases, it isn't the teachers that are the problem.  YOU are your child's first and most important teacher.  Remember that and instead of complaining about how crappy their teachers are, work with them yourself.  I taught my DS to read before he started school.  he wouldn't learned to read in school but I knew I could help him. [/quote]
