[quote=Blogstar]I don’t believe “tough males” can help just by being teachers. The best teacher would not be much more effective than the average teacher when placed in the inner city, so why would anyone want to suffer for nothing? They would not have broad support of administrations and parents. If they did , then there wouldn’t be these seriously terrible schools to work at. The classroom is just a symptom. A woman or average man could do the job better at normal pay, if she/he didn’t have to take care of juvenile delinquents who were just doing time and have to have seriously offensive students with no hope of correcting or removing them.
So , tenure is not helping or failing inner city schools because teachers are not G-d.[/quote]
Ahh, good points…And this goes back to my earlier comment somewhere else that we shouldn’t even “force” teenagers or people who simply don’t want to go to school, be in school.
These are all the disruptive, delinquent and kids possibly in the inner city. If it means shutting down tons of schools where the kids don’t even want to be there, then so be it. I think we spend like over 10k for these kids per year to be in school…Maybe they can start welfare early and just stay out of trouble and collect say 3k a year .
Heck, we have a family person who never even graduated from HS and dropped out, why force them to go when they aren’t going to use the time there productively? Even if they are forced to graduate, they won’t be using their HS degree for anything.
Again, these aren’t the people going to go to college anyways.
The point I keep saying is let’s try something. We all know the current system is broke and why housing areas with better school districts do so much better for this reason.
