My problems with our education system....and they are, frankly, unsolvable.
1. Teachers who are unqualified, stupid, idiots, morons, child molestors and/or indifferent.
2. Curriculum that is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to easy.
I've been saying for a while now that teaching should be a professional degree. The reason we have problem #1 is that when you offer the kind of coin that is paid to teachers you lose 95% of the potential good ones because they don't want to live in a trailer park the rest of their life. The pay for these people is a travesty. That said, many of the teachers we have today don't deserver a red cent more. It's a huge issue that would take years to change and this country doesn't change those kinds of problems.
