re: I am a conservative who believes the job of teaching is under paid

But if a teacher can do nothing, they need to quit their job. It’s an excuse. And a bad one.

You can't reasonably make such a statement without also addressing the teacher's latitude for maintaining discipline in her class.

If little Johnny wants to constantly act the arse, but she has to jump through miles of red tape to kick him out, then this will drag down the performance of the entire class.

I understand that there are plenty of lazy teachers who simply don't want to be evaluated on their performance, but I think it's only fair to say that if they are to be evaluated on performance, then they need to have the authority to run the class as they see fit. It it my understanding that this is almost never the case.
