I have to start off by saying that I agree with Michael Moore in many ways. First of all, why do our teacher make so little money. We are producing idiots because there aren't enough teachers that care to teach the students. No one wants to be a teacher because they don't make enough money and schools don't have enough money to keep things running. We shouldn't have to recruit from different countries for teachers. We should be able to find our own teachers right here in our country. If teachers just got paid more money we would have more teachers that cared about the students and weather they were learning or not. Why in the world do we start the school year off with no one running the school and in so many schools. Schools must have a principle to run them. Again, if they were paid more money we might have more people willing to do the job.
Now, why do we have to get money from big businesses to help run our schools. Schools are important enough that they should get money from the government to keep running. We shouldn't have to make deals with Coke or Pepsi so that we get money from them. Our kids shouldn't be drinking so much soda, it isn't good for you. Some of the big businesses that we get money from are because of good things that the parents are doing or things that the schools are doing. I know my son has me collect the box tops for school. I think that is great, but getting money for drinking so much soda is not a good thing at all.
Why are some schools allowing marketing research going on in classroom. There should be no such thing going on. Mail the research to people's home, don't come to our schools and take our learning time with something stupid like market research.
I felt the same way. It is a shame that our own Government doesn't value education like they should. I was overwhelmed with joy once I read how much various companies put back into education. When you have cuts there are many negative effects: when you take away teachers, you increase classroom size; when you increase classroom size, you cut back on the quality children are able to learn. It is like a train wreck.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you and most of the excerpt from Michael Moore. It is truly sad what some of the educational systems have become in America.
ReplyDeleteI wish that the teachers got paid more, they do soooooooo much for children, i'm sure its really hard to prep kids for college starting at kindergarden
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. It always amazes me how such an important job like educating the future gets paid so little.
ReplyDeleteI agree too very much. We should have more teachers stay over here to teach. And should be paid more to help more children with their education. Plus we need more teachers who want to teach children of all sorts, not just pick out children.
