40% probably means more like 60-70%

Survey question: "Do you want teachers to be suspended or fired or die?"

Results: "40% favor firing or suspending teachers"

Could be rephrased as: "60% support paying teachers that refuse to work"

Good teachers are worth their weight in gold, but most teachers now thanks to unions and common core are not those teachers. Even while working they don’t contribute much beyond miseducation at this point. You could probably learn more for free online and by having your kid join some local project groups and athletic groups than in public schools. Here in the Bay we pay crazy taxes on our public school and they still fucking blow. One of the chief BLM and otherwise agitators that gets things violent is a middle school teacher at a Bay Area public school. She was on Tucker. He didn’t even say much the whole time, she just went complete bat shit.

Those are the people we’re paying not to work out here. Maybe we’re better off not having public schools now.

We had this family from Japan move into our neighborhood. The dad was an engineer. One of my other neighbors is also an engineer and we were bullshitting about schools and the Japanese guy went absolutely berserk over Commie Core. He ended up sending his family back to Japan because he was so pissed off about the stupidity of Commie Core math and he didn’t want his kids to be years behind the other Japanese kids in math when his assignment in the US ended. That dude was based as hell.

Oh, that flipping Common Core -- nobody can do anything with it (of value). Talk about confusing af. When it got instated a lot of us just went about teaching the curriculum the old fashioned way, yet still had to set aside class time to teach to the test because it now demanded CC. It was a great waste of time. Common Core can make the best of teachers and students into babbling idiots in 0 to 60. When asked about it, I've just said "no".

There were however those who insisted upon using it in the classroom with the expected results (teaching is often a cat rodeo at the best of times; this just made it worse).

So, now we have No Child Left Behind (ps. some of them need to be held back) and Common Core (aka. confusing af) and BLM bullshit (the local public schools are politely ignoring it, for now, until they are forced not to, but the colleges in the area are hiring anybody/everybody who promotes it and the local progressive groups are pushing hard on the school boards, so we'll see what happens). Is it a fucking mess? Why yes, yes it is.

40% will admit it.

60% couldn’t respond to the survey because they went to a public school where the teachers didn’t teach them to read.

Yep. The Left just cannot seem to do math---the number of fraudulent votes too high, the number of downvotes on WH videos too low.

I would bet that the "Survey" did not mention that the Teachers were being paid either way!
