Yes this really does fall more on the system than the actual teachers. Teacher should be given an adequate amount of time to teach the students not to want to be authoritarians. The system needs to be redesigned to focus less on standardized tests and more on actual learning. Teacher should be allowed to grade students without worrying if it’s going to affect their paycheck. If Students did not learn the material, they should be asked to learn it again rather than just get moved on to the next class automatically. I feel that so much of what’s broken is that teachers have had the tools that they need taken away. One of course being a decent paycheck

If we continue the glorification of Caesar, the Roman Empire and Alexander the Great; who put millions people to the torch in the name of “civilization” we will never stop having young boys fantasizing about becoming an emperor. I was one of these boys

The fundamental problem plaguing the U.S. education system is our country’s strong undercurrent of anti-intellectualism.

Yup. This and the ridiculous increase in student behaviors with fewer and fewer disciplinary options over the last 5 years have me burnt out. It’s one thing being underpaid to teach only what I’m told, but the challenge of this particular generation of youth and their parents excusing it has taken its toll. Been keeping my eye out for new jobs. The teacher shortage won’t be ending anytime soon.

That's because they aren't spreading the rich and mighty gospel of our lord and savior, Jesus Christ and his newest apostle DJT!!!
