Put away the broad brush. Education is still mostly a state and local issue despite the Bush/Kennedy disaster. Florida is not New York.

You also have to differentiate between grade school and high school teachers. High school teachers are paid more.

You trust LJ more to teach your kids than a teacher?
Well, at least your kids'll have an... ample vocabulary.

The home-schooled students we see are generally better equipped, and tend to excel almost effortlessly. Do you think it's because of the one-on-one, or the fact that parents know better than anyone their own kids' learning styles?

I missed the part where I stated that we needed to hit them, please point that out.
I see where Bruce gets what he does about your reading skills.

That's why you want the job so badly.

Huh? Did someone say something pertinent? I didn't think so.

I know someone who went to Turnover High. Most of them were of Dutch descent, i.e. Danish. They had a killer cafeteria. Naturally, Culinary Arts were big in the Vocational School. But, those sons of biscuits had three months off every summer...got paid for a full year! Most of the families had a lot of dough, but the kids were a bunch of pale pastry pansy-asses. So many of them went on to become teachers, then actors, then firemen, then astronauts, then ditch diggers, then microbiologists, then dog walkers, then shoemakers, then astronomers, then truck drivers, then electrical engineers, then ambassadors, then butlers, then tailors.

Well, if just one day could go by without yet another story about such-and-such teacher fucking such-and-such student(s)...

Clearly the skills they need include keeping their hands to themselves and concentrating on the curriculum.
