General answer to this recent topic change...
The fact is how much you spend on students is not the answer, it never was. The answer is caring, its better explaining of topics, its less of a crowd, its the one on one experience, its understanding that kids learn differently. You need to sit with just two children, maybe your own, and you will find they go about not only life differently, but learning, and this difference is what teachers need to learn, accept and make no excuses when its ignored. Sure, the kid might not care, but most kids get to the point of not caring not because they really don't care, but because they are hopelessly lost, which is undoubtedly caused by bad teaching. Do people really want to know why private schools beat out public schools? Caring, it's that simple.
To answer haymarkets question of mediocre schools, its simple, the pace is too fast, the attention to the kids is limited if there at all, the topics aren't explained, the attention to learning differences is nonexistent and kids are ignored.
Not one thing in your posts documents or supports any sort of problem in firing "bad teachers" in "mediocre schools.As for your "analysis" and simple conclusion, your statements are based on what exactly?
For what it is worth - everything you discuss - caring, one on one, explaining things, recognizing differences, - all that has been part of a teachers curriculum for a very long time now in colleges and universities which train teachers. This are basic teacher skills and techniques that are not new, not any secret, are not revolutionary and certainly are not unheard of. There are part and parcel of everyday teaching and have been for a long time.
I would hope any discussion on this topic is fact based and not belief based. The basis for any intelligent discussion is to be able to offer evidence to show that what your saying is true and not merely conjecture, rumor or just what passes for common knowledge among certain people who believe because they want to believe what they believe.
