<How are the kids gonna learn when the teachers are such air heads?
I’m on a message board with other college professors. You would be shocked (well, maybe not) to read what they have to say about ed students. There are professors with PhDs in chemistry, biology, geology, math, literature, etc. who wind up teaching these little geniuses. Many times the students will say things like, ‘I’m glad when I get out of this course. I hate reading.’ or ‘Why do I have to learn this, I’m going to be a teacher and the answers are in the teacher’s textbook.’
Believe me, you want to cry sometimes. I don’t blame the kids as much as I blame the teachers and the stupid parents who never talk to their kids about history, politics, art, etc.
I certainly don't want to let the educatocracy off the hook, but the parents are more important. Of course, we're getting to the point where the parents had been taught by idiots, too.
