Conservatives: "Yaa workers rights being thrown out the window! Who needs worker say in the workplace!?"
By restore discipline I mean put the teachers and the Principal back in charge of the students. Restore the authority of teachers to beat that ass as necessary. The ones who are past caring, past fixing and won't stop disrupting other's ability to learn... permanent expulsion and that without delay.
Hooray!
Step by step, state by state... The ball of sobriety is rolling.
Along the way we need to eliminate the DoE.

Teachers are no more special than any other employee in this country.
Why, in your opinion, would that occur?
Are shoes made only for the rich? Are clothes made only for the rich? Is food made only for the rich? Are cell phones made only for the rich? Are TV sets made only for the rich? Are automobiles made only for the rich?
Or can one find a variety of goods, and services to meet each individual's needs and income? Please explain to me why you think education would be any different than all of the other goods and services that are provided in an astonishing range of prices and features?
Except that they care for your children and shape their minds for 8 hours a day.
That makes them just like the cashier at 7/11?
Yes and just like a 7/11 cashier they are paid to do a service.If they screw up on providing that service they should be easily fired and replaced. They are not chosen by God, they are not saints nor are they irreplaceable. They can and should be easily fired and replaceable just like any other employee on the planet. A day care worker takes care of kids for eight hours a day, a baby sitter takes care of kids for a few hours or more a day. A community college teaches young adults. A private school teacher teaches and cares for kids eight hours a day. They should not be put on some pedestal
If parents want to send their kids to public schools.. They will support it.. Otherwise they can pay for private school.. Goshin is so correct!! Our children today have no discipline.. I remember the days of a big thick paddle hanging on the wall.. Having your hand smacked with a ruler.. Parent't aren't teaching their children discipline at home.. They need to learn it somewhere..
And if each parent paid a teacher as much as they paid a babysitter per hour, a teacher would make about $150,000 a year.
I do not undervalue the work anyone does. I do not give a **** if they are teacher, fireman, convenience store clerk, garbage man, septic sewer cleaner, gardener/landscaper, police officer. What I do not do is put someone on a pedestal.And, yes, if they screw up, they should be fired. That part, I'll agree with. But continuing to undervalue the work they do is only going to decrease the quality of people we have teaching our children.
If you think your staff sucks, do you try to replace them by offering their replacements even less incentive to take the job?
Slap a child's hand with a ruler? You and what army? Our dismal Chicago schools are war zones. Until our system is willing to lose their per-pupil subsidy for these troublemakers and throw their asses outa' school...set up armed perimeters and get the good kids safely to and from school...the only thing ruler-slappin's gunna do is turn those slapped into rabid dogs and require hazard pay for teachers.
Motivation and positive reinforcement, Demon, not punishment.

You look back to the one room school house and how well educated those kids were. I wish I could find a test from around the turn of the century for an 8th grade class. My bet is most grads today couldn't pass it. The reason is precisely as described above.
No teachers unions then, no opulent school, no BS classes... just a room full of kids from multiple classes, a teacher that had control and expected results, and a three-holer out back. And if the kid was being a jerk, the parents most likely would have swatted him one, allowed the teacher to too and told him to knock it off.
Here is a test for 8th grade grads in 1895:
Dumbing Down: Then And Now

... and then we have this today:
Funny if it weren't so sad.

Next important big step. Get the government completely out of the business of education. It is extra-constitutional. It is dangerous.
Public sector union bloodsuckers? Isn't that the real issue? No business owner wants to deal with union members and union thuggery. And the taxpayer should never be subjected to public sector unions. Fortunately we are seeing some states take back the state from the unions and the democrats.Conservatives: "Yaa workers rights being thrown out the window! Who needs worker say in the workplace!?"
I was going to answer but realized that a conversation with you would be pointless.None of those things are as valuable as an education.
Please help me with this. Where can I find this authority in the US Constitution? Which section? Which paragraph? Which sentence?I dont think it is dangerous...just not efficient.

Taxpayers exchange taxes for labor - you have no right to what public workers do with their own property (their money).Public sector union bloodsuckers? Isn't that the real issue?

This is why it is so important to understand the basics. Unions make deals with politicians to increase their pay and benefits. We call these politicians democrats. The union members are paid with tax payer dollars. Union members pay mandatory dues to union thugs, I mean leaders. The unions then use the taxpayer dollars to help politicians get elected.

1. What do you mean the government forces you to labor?What? The government forces me to labor for the benefit of others two days out of every week. Every week. When Union thugs and democrat thug get together for the benefit of themselves to the detriment of the taxpayer then it is time for the unions to go.
No. I suggest you study the history of unions in this country.Why do you think unions and union movements were so important to the Soviet Union, and democrats alike? Isn't because they stand against merit and achievement?
I thought I wrote the government forces me to labor for the benefit of others...1. What do you mean the government forces you to labor?
