I wonder what would happen if there were a "layoffs in the teacher ranks" thread. Just a hunch, but I think it might be variations on the theme of "it's about time".

You miss the parts then on how O+G people deserved it. And how 80% of them are terrible and it's just dat trimming. And how it's the correct decision not to hire them for other industry as all of them will go crawling back. I agree most of it is positive but it certainly occurs and people certainly criticize other progressions. Go start a chiropractor thread and see how it goes. The point being that other professions are criticized as well and the woe is me teacher attitude that the blog portrayed is ridiculous. It just shows a complete lack of understanding of other jobs in the Private sector, the volunteer work others do and the overtime and stress others put in.
There also won't be a layoffs in the teacher thread as job security there is pretty secure. One of the problems people have is that there is no way to remove bad teachers and replace them with young enthusiastic teachers.
To me you fix a lot of the education system by empowering teachers to teach, evaluating them properly, increasing the spread between the highest and lowest paid and laying off the bottom 5% of performers every 5 years or so.
Good teachers are amazing. Okay teachers get the job done, bad teachers can destroy a love of learning for some students.
