Yup...

Just a side note on the public perception of teachers....how many out there would like to spend $80k on a college education, pay for all your own licensure/testing, to go into a job that starts off at around $35k with no bathroom breaks, buying your own work supplies, a guarantee that you have to keep going back to school to keep your job, work +60 hours/6 days a week, be poo poo on constantly (figuratively and sometimes literally), just to be told you're lazy? Sometimes I really want to stab some of these people because I know they wouldn't last a week in my job...


What level of education are we talking about though? If it is Lower or High school then the general stress and pressure will eventually break them but I am pretty sure putting people with no experience teaching in a Middle School environment is tantamount to a war crime. In all seriousness though the idea of treating Schools as a business sickens me. Education is too important to just treat it as just another business venture.

Not wanting to throw away inordinate amounts of money on special education is not eugenics at all. Society should absolutely consider the costs and benefits of special education policy

So should we also bar kids from disadvantaged homes as they require more resources to teach then a peer from a more stable family?

Why are you still debating with him? He just tried to use Trump as a symbol of rational thought.
