Scientific researcher again.

Teachers are not adequately trained in this country. Despite their love of children and enthusiasm, they are unfortunately often the bottom of the barrel academically. That's why we rank so low in international rankings of reading and math, while spending so much on education. We should invest in hiring smarter teachers (select only the best, design more rigorous education programs, pay much better), who will be able to understand and adapt to the multiple changes in curriculae they will experience over their teaching career, and implement them intelligently, always putting the students' development first.

I think that's only part of the problem.  What has caused this trend away from textbooks?   It seems clear that it does not improve the learning environment and in fact harms it. I would think a moderately skilled teacher would do better with a text to teach from, instead of having to start from scratch gathering materials. [/quote]

I am a teacher and I completely agree with the second poster, not the first. [/quote]
