Here is why: Public education is a socialist economic system. All teachers are paid the same regardless of how good of a job they do.
We need to take money from the 80% of teachers who suck at their job and give it to the 20% who actually perform. Then watch how suddenly the teachers who suck start putting in the effort in to be good at teaching.
Shit like this is why I didn't take any of the yearly standardized testing seriously. I didn't take any of the education I got seriously because the teachers didn't care. They got their checks and moved on. Most of the teachers I had were out the door at the last bell before the kids were even on the buses. I started off a straight A student. Great behavior, no issues at all. That lasted through 1st grade. I learned quick that the results that I got didn't matter. I was going to be pushed through no matter what. I didn't take them seriously anymore and on a whim, my senior year of high school I took the standardized testing seriously and actually tried. I ranked in the 99th percentile for the entire state of Missouri in all subjects. Which raised eyebrows. Because my report cards read like a Helen Keller speech "FFFDABCFFFBDABCAAAAF". I took the results and showed them to my parents and said "See? I'm smart. I just don't care about their shit system. They don't care, why should I?" and I used that as leverage to get in to a program dedicated mainly for troubled kids. One where I could do all my classes at a computer lab, online, and do everything in my own time and speed. I zoomed through the courses and my grades for the classes were B's and A's. I can learn, I can do great in school, I just don't like most of the teachers. That's the problem.
Same scenario hated school and hated the teachers, It was always the push of if you don't intend on going to college you're wasting your life. The week before graduation they sat about 8 of us down (Class of 34 students) and summed it up to basically they were concerned for our futures, and didn't expect us to amount to anything in life. Well fast forward a few years and here I am working from home making 6 figures a year, and the "educator" that made these comments died last month from complications of diabetes due to her obesity.
teachers are the most overpaid self-important lazy cunts on the planet
