If they paid teachers 200k I still wouldnt be interested in the job. Especially considering that many people view teachers as free babysitters and not education professionals. I say this as someone who probably would have gotten the boot once of twice myself. If we do not remove the "children" who are either unwilling or unable to learn then all the children will suffer. When my oldest son was in middle school more than a decade ago I could not believe the amount of disrespect the children had for the teachers, their peers, and themselves. Nor coukd I believe the lack of control the teachers had over their classrooms. Some of those students absolutely did not give a shit and did everything in their power to make sure the other students could not learn because of their disruptive behavior. As much as I believe in education let's face it. Some of them are not going to advance past the 6th grade. They're not. They either can't or won't. And they need to be removed from the basket before they ruin the other fruit. Some kids are going to excel. They are just smart (usually a lot of parental involvement) and will do well I'm school no matter the circumstances. My hats off to them. But a lot of kids WANT to learn the just struggle and have to work twice as hard for half the results. And that group of kids are probably the majority. And until we remove the wonts and cants from their classes they are the ones who will suffer the most.
