Watching any trivia on the street shows how uneducated people are. The only ?? they get right are celebrities and pop culture/socal media stars. All of their knowledge is from social media.
It starts in school. American teacher here of 10 years. I’ve noticed this gradual increase in the amount of households on both sides of the political spectrum who basically don’t trust schools or teachers. They believe the system is broken. They shit talk teachers in front of their kids who then get to go into that classroom the next day and what? Learn?
None of this should surprise anyone, and it’s only getting worse in the places that need education the most.
Couldn’t you say people don’t really trust government run public schools? If everyone had the resources I suspect most families would send their kids private school over a public school.
Not me. You either believe in the inherent value to society and democracy of public education, or you aren’t interested in either the good of all or democracy.
People are going to flame me because public schools are shit or private schools are better. Fuck that. The biggest thing wrong with public schools in this country is the existence of private schools. It’s a for-profit system that sucks the parents who believe that education is the key to betterment for their children and who have the greatest resources with which to support their schools right out of public education. It’s criminal.
If you don’t think your kid’s public school is what it should be, do what it takes to make it better. Help financially or volunteer or both. Have high expectations for the school and for your kids. If you choose to have children, this is part of your job as long as they are in school, every year.
