[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^And if I was a teacher, I would be really frustrated with my slacker colleagues. You can't blame parents for being angry when their children get the dud teachers.[/quote]

Ok, then.  Apparently, they are just quitting. Not just the bad ones, but lots of teachers.  I was at the pool yesterday for a swim lesson and the very nice aquatic director was explaining to a parent that he made a mistake because he didn’t know the system.  “I just started a couple of weeks ago because I retired from teaching.” The guy was MAYBE 50, but I would say late 40s.  Off they go, out the door. No blame, but leaving you with your anger and your child without a teacher.  They got out, just like you told them to.  Cool. [/quote]

Well, they aren't indentured servants. They are free to seek happiness in a new career. What exactly do you want people to say?

Eventually, the schools will have to raise pay to attract talent, just like any other industry.[/quote]

*snort* Pay teachers more?  Please.  They re just lowering the bar.[/quote]
