Lately I've noticed that there are a lot of people out there that are teachers that probably shouldn't be. I have to give it up to those who have decided to shape the next generation's minds. Kids today are nothing like when we were younger and apparently teachers today are nothing like when we were younger.
These kids are going to be the ones making laws one day, defending our country, taking care of us when we're sick and molding the minds of the generation after theirs. It's not necessarily the fact that these kids are going to be running the country one day that scares me, it's the fact that the teachers who should be shaping future doctors, lawyers, nurses, politicians, etc. downright scare the shit out of me.
There are many teachers out there that can't spell simple words correctly and can't even put a grammatically correct sentence together. Where the hell did they get THEIR education? When did they start giving out teaching certificates as Cracker Jack prizes?
I know that many of these teachers had access to a great education. I went to school with a few of them. What the hell happened?
It's a sad day when a parent is bragging about their child getting an 'A' on a paper that looks like one giant text message. I'm all for abbreviating your point in a rough draft, but there is no way that a paper should be turned in like that. That paper should've never been accepted and should've never gotten anything higher than an 'F'.
I'm really scared that one day when I have kids, they'll be taught by someone who spells and speaks worse than a second grader. I really don't want to have to homeschool my kids, but given the state the educational system is in, I'd have no choice. My kid would sound like a moron otherwise.
OFFEND someone? You might wake someone up! It is just that bad, and even worse here. Teachers truly are ignorant, and the certification process IS a joke. These young knuckelheads figured out that if they get a degree in [primary] education, they don't actually have to work as hard as if they got their degree in a subject and then got certified later.
ReplyDeleteBTW, have you heard about Texas rewriting their history books and Louisiana trying to work the concept of Intelligent Design into science classes? Our future is dark...
