The education system is failing here in Canada too, it failed me , so it could be everywhere

I'm on disability for life for my dyslexia and being a slow learner or lack of education, most of my school mates are either in jail, or drug addicts or on disability like me, I had people in my home room with tourette's syndrome, two with it and one guy had a extreme case of it, teachers used to send him out of class to the stair way;s with a desk because he was just to loud and intrusive and you could still hear him echoing from the stair way exit's!..

yes my sister got expelled from school for sleeping in class.. and im not joking she literally got kicked out

because it sucks

Because the public school system is a monopoly that's not accountable to anyone. In the business world if you do a cruddy job you'll go out of business. In the education world if 90% of your students aren't successful after graduation, no one will notice or care.

Has nothing to do with education.

Because it has been systematically underfunded and politicized by the right for decades, coupled with the inherent inequality of tying school budgets to local property taxes.

Failing? I thought it did 20 years ago.

It is not failing, you just misunderstand its purpose.

The competition against personal homeschooling is weaker than ever.

Except that's a bait. The right believe in something called school choice. Which is giving everyone a tax credit and allowing them to pick whatever school they want.

The left supports keeping people in their district and not having school choice and keeping it based on property taxes, but it gets worse. Groups like BLM who do 2-3 billion dollars worth of damages, are directly impacting schools.

Nah, the problem with schools is they went woke, and now they're broke.

They'd rather focus on ideological and political causes then actually teaching the kids. In California they had failing test scores for latino and black students and instead of trying to help those groups out more, they lowered the testing requirements and started teaching more ideological things instead of the meat and potatoes.

Politicians.

Simple.
Teaching is not a valued profession.

In other places like Japan, the pay is high and subsequently, the competition is steep to be a teacher. Hence, the cream of the crop get the role. Here in the states, being a teacher isn’t worth it. The pay is low, so those who are good teachers, self-included, pass on the role, as there is no money in the professiont, unless you are a college professor. Half of the teachers I had in middle/high school were terrible- even taught a lesson once in middle school because my teacher couldn’t perform proper algebra…

For 2021-22, starting salaries for teachers range from $61,070 (bachelor's degree, no prior teaching experience) to $83,972 (master's degree, eight years teaching experience, without additional coursework). New teachers with a master's degree but no prior teaching experience will earn $68,252

That plus
The typical teacher in the United States works 180 or so days annually.

Maybe has to do with something else which is called neoptism, political favoritism and hiring not based on meritology but political interest.

Homeschooling sounds like a good idealistic choice to protect Jimmy from the evils of other people's opinions, but given how most parents are already doing a piss-poor job of educating and socializing their offspring, somehow I just can't see how removing the university educated professional is going to help Jimmy in the long run.

I disagree wholeheartedly, but I've argued against your nonsense on these forums enough to know you are intransigently partisan, so have a nice life.

I'd agree with that. I wanted to be a teachers but was lead to understand that as a right-winger my opinions wouldn't be welcome and I'd likely have to hide that part of myself. I'm fine with not seeing ANY politics but if it's one sided that'd be a real drag.

People say that teachers are underpaid but if we look at it, it's actually a pretty sweet position. Good starting pay. Easy hours, easy work. Summers off. Most holiday's off. The one job that gets easy snow days.

The pandemic essentially taught us that many teachers jobs are borderline obsolent
