[QUOTE="alank2, post: 2994238, member: 108"] If we had more teachers like you cooljeff, the educational system would be entirely different. I happen to think the problem with the education system is that the left/liberals/communist have infected it with their line of thinking that does not work. Then when it all fails, they start to point fingers at everything except the very ideas that got them there in the first place. Go ahead and pay everyone the same irregardless of their job performance and then check the result 5, 10, 15 years later. We are living the result. Who is against any kind of teacher grading/performance/evaluation? The unions, associations, etc. They are doing teachers no good either by keeping the dead weight. Hard working good teachers like cooljeff should be rewarded for what they invest, and the bad teachers should be given the base until they are weeded out or seek to improve themselves. I don't think the excellence issues or lack thereof can be placed squarely on the teachers, the students, or the parents. I think it all goes together. There are a lot of non functioning kids now that just can't do things, with the stock answer to that is to medicate them. I have a niece who just turned 18 and she is on 5 or 6 meds for anxiety. What ever happened to sitting a kid down and saying, hey, you had a bad day, it is probably going to happen again, let's learn how to deal/cope with it. I know there are some kids/people that need a med and are much better on it, and that makes sense for them, but I think there is a gulf between saying what is necessary and just keep throwing more and more and more at them.
