The confluence of societal and governmental factors leading to these outcomes is an irredeemable tragedy. Nobody gives a fuck about education and the consequences are accelerating
It's so tragic. Because I've always wanted to be a teacher but where I live they get paid so so bad I literally couldn't afford to do it since I have to take care of a few relatives. Like maybe if I lived alone and spent nothing.
I keep dreaming the US will see things like this and actually improve education. Pay teachers more, give them the resources they need in the classroom, focus on actually educating etc. then I'd be on it in an instant
A foolish dream in this hell of neolibralism And religious fundamentalism
Right now the thing is charter schools. Its ruining everything.
Wait—you mean dumping public funds into schools that aren't held to any education standard isn't improving education?
When I was a child I went to a charter school for a few years. I was the problem all along haha.
But seriously it was a weird school I actually did learn things at but most of them seem to be totally insane. And of course more or less steal from the public schools.
For the people in charge, this is the best news possible. Their decades-long campaign to destroy education is working. They'll pay teachers nothing and force them to teach white supremacist Christianity and nothing else.
Don’t forget give the teachers guns and expect them to shoot school shooters
