...and our children
I have long been an advocate of teachers
i have long been an advocate of students
i have long been a proponent of the current educational system
the trouble that i have is that if i want to make the system better, then sacrifices will have to be made.
when it comes to battles of improving education, someone always has to be right and someone always has to be wrong. is that really necessary? to that, i say no.
i truly believe that it is not the idea of "my idea is more right" but the idea of "lets see if we can get it all together and do better for the education of our children".
SYNERGY goes a long way. i learned in a college level Afro-Caribbean dance class that in order to make a dance speak, you had to combine many elements. my son goes to a public charter school and i will say in all his 6 years of public, private, parochial, and other charter schools, he is getting the best offering for advancement.
guess what??????
his teachers are not union members.
i am a full supporter of unions that work, but i think the way teachers are treated is deplorable and the trickle down is uneducated children who will do society no good in the next 20 years.
we have to pay teachers what they are worth, reward them for what they do, and offer consequences for those who don't meet the requirements of the future of America.
hiding behind a union who will hold you up in the system even if you should NEVER be teaching children or tenure because you did your time is disappointing to me.
will we lose people in the fray? absolutely.
but there must be sacrifices for growth to happen. think about these things:
1. dendrite pruning
2. rose bushes
3. young peach trees
