re: Tuberville on inner city teachers: ‘I don’t know whether they can read and write’

Tuberville, whether you agree or not, hurt the GOP with these comments.
Whatever. The usual suspects would cry whatever "ism" anyway, regardless of who points out the truth.
The vast majority of teachers belong to unions and will vote Democrat. Look at how many of them behaved during and after Covid. That tells you all you need to know about how inner-city teachers care for their students.
And this doesn't even graze the most important issue: Culture and family rot.

Yeah. We need more career politicians and lawyers in Washington

Yeah, you could drop these kids in the best schools in the country and it wouldn't make a big difference because their parents don't care.
Even if they do care, they aren't able to do much. After 2-3 generations of social promotion, you have people with the equivalent of a 6th or 7th grade education being the home guidance. There is a defined ceiling with that paradigm.

I can give you six reasons.

He makes valid points, but does he really think decreasing pay and benefits for teachers are going to bring out the best?
The reason we have so many undereducated and shitty teachers is due to the lack of pay and terrible teaching conditions in public schools. Why would anyone with an education want to teach in inner city schools?
No shite, you’re not going to get scholars taking those jobs.

Teachers are not the main problem in the vast majority of educational shortcomings. It starts at home. From my secondhand experience of my wife working in inner-city schools, the teachers have been qualified to teach. Between shitty kids/parents and bureaucratic red tape, the teachers have no chance to single-handily perform a miracle.

That is how he is qualified
Someone downvoted Constitutional qualifications. Tells you all you need to know about how far they’re willing to take this.

He was elected through our democratic process.

Biggest issue is watering down of standards. What the standard of education is in one area is completely different and dumbed down in another.
Everyone has a different set of standards to go by, but in the end all want equal opportunities. The end doesn’t come close to the journey to get there.

The COVID really brought it out how bad our schools are and how bad our teachers are, in the inner city. Most of them in the inner city, I don’t know how they got degrees,” Tuberville said. “I don’t know whether they can read and write. And they want a raise. They want less time to work, less time in school. It’s just, we’ve ruined work ethic in this country. We don’t work at it anymore. We push an easy life.” Tuberville cited a published report that 23 Baltimore City schools had no students who tested proficient in math. “If you can’t read and if you can’t write, you can’t live in a country like this and not have somebody help you make it through life, which is what a lot of this government wants,” Tuberville said.
To be honest, he should be very fortunate this is the case in Alabama. It’s the reason he got elected

Teachers matter very little in this equation.
Family values and culture are the big variables.
Yes. It's the students. Period. High ranking schools have high ranking students.
What would happen if Baton Rouge High and McKinley High switched faculties?
Virtually nothing. McKinley wouldn't all of the sudden become a top school, and BRH wouldn't drop down. Because the students are smart and come from good families with high expectations.
This is a real recent headline from NOLA.com
Report: Black students most likely to attend worst public schools
quote:
Black students are more than five times as likely to attend a D- or F-rated public school as White students, according to a state audit released Monday morning.
About 41% of Black students attend a school at the bottom of the grading scale compared to 8% of White children, a report by Legislative Auditor Mike Waguespack says.
No shite. They think there is some magic bullet that can solve these problems. Hire the right teachers, spend the right amount of money, have the right building, offer the right resources.
This is why political correctness is the scourge of society. It doesn't allow people to even discuss what the problems are. You get articles like the one above that totally miss the plot.
The joke headline that people quote: "Giant asteroid headed to Earth, black people most affected" is not a joke to them. They aren't serious people.

Individual teachers matter very little.
We spend too much on kids who's parents don't value education.

The idea that you need a college degree to teach Kindergarten is ridiculous. You should be able to teach elementary school with a 2-year junior college degree. Teaching children has more to do with your personality and dedication that it does with some certificate you have.
There are teachers with masters degrees teaching preschool.

77% of black kids in America grow up in a single parent household.
That is why a huge percentage of them go to crappy schools compared to other races. They go to school with other black kids who have a non working mother or grandmother raising them.
Again. All attempts to blame racism for bad results are just lies to cover up for this social disaster in the black community.
