[quote=AN][quote=CA renter]And the notion that there are a bunch of “bad” teachers out there is BS. I’ve worked in four different schools and can easily count on one hand the total number of “bad” teachers I’ve seen. Most of the time, a “bad” teacher is labeled that way because they are willing to stand up to parents and administrators instead of eagerly following the newest trends and fads in education (which, BTW, happen to cost taxpayers a tremendous amount of money).
A teacher who’s spent 20 or 30 years in a classroom absolutely knows more about teaching and education that some yuppie know-it-all mother with ZERO teaching experience or education, or the 23 year-old who’s spent one or two years in the classroom before pursuing administrative positions.[/quote]Totally and utterly BS. Some of the teachers I stated are quite old (50+), which means they’re at least 10-20+ years of experience. As a student, you know who are the good and the bad teachers. It’s not that hard. The good teachers are those who inspired. The bad teachers are the ones who don’t care or plain old mean or even worse.
BTW, how many years have you been a teacher?
Also, since you say “Mr. Anti-Tax” have no credibility in tax mater because he pushes privatization, do you think all teachers who are part of a union have no credibility when it comes to teachers union mater?[/quote]
Teachers know far more about education than Doug Manchester does. Additionally, they aren’t trying to fool the masses, like Manchester does, by using the “taxpayer advocate” label while trying to push their agenda. I can assure you that most citizens benefit far more from the teachers’ unions than they do from Doug Manchester’s actions.
