They can hang on to their higher salaries only by working significantly faster or better,
markjs said:The United states would have a great education system if it would just study sucessful ones like Japan and Germany, and then reconstruct that system, here. The studies have been done, yet the changes were never implemented. I am not sure if it's a funding issue, but I do know many of those changes could be made for little or no money.
Gonz said:Study & emulate Germany & Japan? Why? Just get liberal government out of the classroom. German & Japanese high school graduates didn't put a man on the moon. Our schools have been overtaken by social awareness programs which levae no time to learn.
IDLEchild said:Kids seek interesting and worthwhile information...most of which at their age happens to be sexual information or curiosity with violence, not the Louisiana purchase or the social impacts of freedom summer.
School is boring...period. Either you enforce it with a heavy hand or you nurture budding minds on a beaurocratic schedule.

PT said:Yep, start giving grades that mean something. Don't allow a kid to pass a grade because it would make him feel bad to fail. Kick the kids off of sports teams if they're not doing well, and don't let the coaches make that decision. And get these social awareness programs out of the schools, they're doing far more damage than the pledge of allegiance ever did.
HomeLAN said:Good ideas. How do you intend to deal with the parents who sue becuase poor Johnny was left behind a year and suffered mental anguish as a result? It isn't the school systems' fault entirely. Most of the root issue is with the parents, and with their willingness to abuse the TORT system to get compensation.

HomeLAN said:I'm in favor, but I'm not sure you could get the legislature to pass it.
I'm serious. I grew up with a mother who was a teacher. You can't get anything done because if you enforce anything some asshole parent will sue you.
Gonz said:Which would be a good reason to make school systems immune from such frivolity.
