[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a lot of people for whom $70K a year, excellent benefits, 6 weeks in the summer to spend with family/pursue other interests, and union-protected job security, plus the opportunity to work with kids, would seem like a pretty great deal.

I think teachers should make a lot of money and get great benefits.  I just don't get the constant "poor me" attitude.

I also think if we pay teachers more we need to expect more of them in terms of education.  Lots of my kids' teachers can't write a grammatical sentence to save their lives.[/quote]

Sadly, looking at some of the material teachers send back home I am constantly reminded of the quality of public school teachers.  Let's face it you can flunk high school, attend Columbia Community College (now known as an university!!!), get into a education program and start teaching!!!  Today, teachers do the minimum in the classroom.  They are silent when school systems implement nonsensical programs--Curriculum 2.0 and don't seem to care a bit that they are churning out barely able students.  Let us see teachers and unions fight to teach our children well and I'll become a supporter.  Until then, I feel more teacher accountability is needed.  [/quote]
