My son is a teacher, going for his masters now, Before he started teaching his salary at pepsico was 6 figures. Now he is making about a third of that.We wont get quality teachers for the money we pay them.No child left behind was a lame idea, and its working just like it was supposed to, keep the talented students down, When some school districts spend thousands on sports arenas for high school. and they share books.Guidance conselers are so far out of date its a waste of time seeing them. They are still singing the praises of computer programing,e jobs are going to india.When I went to school, we had no rights,the nuns would slap you sillier than your parents. And the parents gave them permission.Japan and China are dumbing our kids down, why? Also we spoke and read english, there were a few european kids in our school, and they learned the language because they needed to.
