[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are public high schools in DC where less than 5% of kids operate at grade level and in some subject, no kid operates at grade level. The teachers at these schools have only decades of failure to show for their time there. And yet they get paid $120k+ and even get raises. Take a geometry teacher who has worked at a school for a decade during which time not one student was proficient in geometry. She would have made close to a million dollars, w/o teaching any student anything. These teachers have essentially made careers out of stealing money from DC taxpayers. [/quote]

Troll much or are you not that bright.

Teachers don't get a blank slate of students and impart their wisdom. The student they get has how many years of absences, no parental support, hunger (yes even kids running around etc go hungry - they shouldn't; the city does a lot to stop this but delinquent parents).

The best teacher in the world CANNOT fix every single problem a child has faced when presented to them. You have to meet kids where they are.

BTW there has been a drug epidemic in this city and others; when bubba can't say no to fentyanl its a national crisis right but when riri was addicted to crack that was his weak character.[/quote]
