Re: It's got to stop.

Having been a teacher at a community college for a few years and a substitute in two states and a school board member, I have some idea of the rigors of teaching.  However, my feelings on our education system concerns the fact that from kindergarten through HS, we have 13 years of English, math, history and several years of a few other courses. Then we get to college and have to take 70-80 hours of General courses which include English, math and history and we finally graduate with around 125-130 hours total and have no real idea of what we want to be.  When I was in Berlin, I met a young man who was 24-25 yrs old and was a veterinarian entering his 3rd or 4th year of practice.  When he finished their HS, he went straight to DVM school and was ready to be called a doctor by the time he was 21.  He explained that he didn't have to take a bunch of German classes and history, etc.  In college he took mostly science and math courses and qualified for the DVM school!  How much English do we really need???  We graduate with 128 hours of classes and 45-50 are in our major!  Why not 80-100 in the area we wish to be in after graduation and a few other related classes???

It's not about education Bart...It's about the money.

Re: It's got to stop.

so sophomoric,

why should I be forced to pay for your desires with my labor, Lincoln freed the slaves it's said, however it's obvious the Democrats discovered how to legally steal the work of free people and essentially enslave them.  Your choice, just like Muslims, pay jizya or die.

Re: It's got to stop.

Yup.  There never were taxes before....when?  When Kennedy or Wilson or Truman were elected? Roads built themselves out of old cart paths, hydro electronic dams rolled down from the sides of hills and canyons and schools ran themselves under Hoover, Coolidge and Reagan? And, of course, taxes were always cut in times of war, even multiple wars, as per quite recently.

 

It's hard to fathom what it is that makes someone think that just because they have showed up on the scene all of the methods and rules should change.

The money used to teach there are 31 ginders and you are what you feel like you want to be on any given day.
