Hold teachers accountable for failing students
Mainly because you have some students from bad families that absolutely have no desire to be at school. You can do every intervention, have every conversation, and the student will still fail.
I am a big believer in by 9th grade placing students based on test scores in either a college type curriculum or one for a blue collar job

Do the same for MD Anderson with their patients that die. See how stupid that is? A great facility for cancer patients yet they still lose many. Why are schools to blame? We do more now than ever for students.
That’s the most ridiculous fricking analogy I’ve ever heard

Classic.
These people will never tell you how much is needed. Just “more”.

more teachers
higher salaries
smaller classes
These three are important, the higher salaries attract better quality teachers. The more teachers you have make smaller classrooms which mean more teacher to student interaction.

Not totally sure, but I think we might be the only country in the world that spends the least amount of money on education for the poorest populations.
For kids with shitty families, we add in shitty schools. That's not a great system.
I hope you’re trolling, cause I’m fairly sure we spend more money on education than any other country and get shittier results.
Money isn’t the problem. Teachers and resources aren’t the problem. Lack of parental involvement is the problem

Fair enough. In the real world when you can’t do your job you’re held accountable. I guess teachers get a pass for whatever reason.
If I was a sales manager and my salesman couldn’t close any deals or sell my product, they would be fired and eventually so would I.

abolish all federal entitlement programs
Repeal "No Child Left Behind"
Bring back corporal punishment
outlaw public employee unions
return local control to school districts
That's basically what it will take. The entitled do not value education because education produces no value for the entitled. You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink. As long as people have the option to support themselves and a family; have healthcare, a comfortable home, food on the table, etc without working, there will be no motivation to do so, and thus no motivation to get education in order to attain a better job.

they would be fired

Go to an inner city school and you'll see a handful of students that don't give a frick about education. They literally walk around all day or leave after lunch. You can't expel the student because they're likely classified as 504 or 1508 (those students can only be suspended for 10 days a year)

I agree with you for the most part. Particularly for students that will never go beyond high school if they finish at all. There are also a lot of average students that go on to get college degrees. They just have to work harder at it. For the ones that have no interest it's a great idea.

Who cares about the "state of education in Louisiana"? Thats just based on averages. Why would i care if most kids are dumb and most schools are shite. If my kid is smart and their school is good?

If I’m the sales manager I’m the one doing the hiring.

So pay qualified teachers or social workers higher salaries to deal with these problems.
Posted on 10/3/17 at 9:29 pm to tgrbaitn08
That's his point teachers don't get to select their students.

Raise the standards to become a teacher and increase their budget.
But I doubt you wanted a real answer with this thread
