quote:Yes, many school boards want to hear from their teachers and them complaining about the low wage vs what they are asked to do. If you don't think what happened in Abbeville then you are mistaken. I've been in plenty of school board meetings where teachers address raises to the central office and they're ignored.
They don't listen, but it's because you disqualify yourself from being taken seriously by saying stupid shite like that

I think what he is inferring is when a contingent of teachers finally have the guts to show their face in an SB forum and voice opinion, en masse. While it's not 100% certain they will be told to stand down, when they are and they don't, speakers have been known to be detained and removed. That's all he saying.

Then educate the community and vote for better board members.
Most of these community members voted to make America a great again but can't fathom that educating their kids is what will accomplish that. Truth is education has become another avenue for private companies to suck away tax dollars and the educaters and kids are left to fend for themselves and then be classified as low performing and in need of School choice which means private charters that suck more tax dollars from the neediness kids.

Teaching salaries in Louisiana are a joke. The bang for the buck is better over here, even in South Texas. I teach a class that doesn’t require much paperwork, and I’ve become efficient at the stuff that I need to have posted. I find myself less willing to volunteer for uncompensated time.
The profession is what you put into it. Society complains about how poorly educated today’s youth is, and how the behavior of teachers is poor. It’s simple, pay more and quit certifying people like they’re in an express lane.

The way things are going Private Schools and Charter Schools will be the future, students that can't comply with either will be left in the dirt.

People act like this is the easiest thing possible. Just look at the OT, they hate teachers and many other individuals feel that teachers are overpaid, baby-sitters. Yet they complain about public schools, they complain about quality teachers, they complain about quality schools..... they want one thing and complain about something else
The only way raising pay raises the quality of teachers is if we fire all the ones currently employed.
Is that what you are advocating?

This can open a huge debate. I personally think it's ignorant with the technology we have that we still teach like we did back in the day. We fill these kids heads with so much shite that can easily be googled in a matter of seconds. We aren't progressing with technology in the classroom. Again, this will open a huge argument, but it's true. Why do we learn about things when textbooks are outdated within 4 years time? God I could ask so much more with this but it's late and hate to reply back to everything lol.

I only have an opinion on you and it's that you are being whiny as shite. There are plenty of fine teachers that plug along do the best with what they can and try to seize opportunities like everyone else.

Not sure what that has to do with anything. She teaches school just like you do. In fact, it's probably harder because she has to to contend with a language barrier.

I love this argument. Teachers will concede that the education system is subpar. Their suggestion for improving it is to pay the employees who are producing a subpar product MORE money?? Try going to your private sector boss and saying “I know my product hasn’t been good, but I think I’d do better if you paid me more”
How fast would you be laughed out of the office?

I see reading comprehension and critical thinking are not your strong suits, slow down and try again sport

Schools use this to justify hours spent in a classroom.
I knew this would be the reply.
Just like I have to have certain classes for my degree. Why? Critical thinking. No. It's a fricking waste of time, money and memory.

Hold up. You want a University of Phoenix type educational system for our youth and further, our college system??
Am I in the nexus of an OT 100 page debate on a Friday night?
Post this at 10:00 am Monday. Could be a crazy thread.

No. I don't want to waste time on shite that kids don't need.
It gets thrown down as "critical thinking".
How much of the first two years of college do most use in their profession? Probably very little. I'm sure we hurt our children with time that could be used on better subjects and more life skills.
