Life as a public school teacher in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2021
In North America, teachers are grossly underpaid and their ability to discipline poor performance has been entirely eviscerated. It’s not just SF, look at what’s happening in Vancouver: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nationalpost.com&#x2F;opinion&#x2F;rex-murphy-cutting-honours-programs-and-keeping-smart-kids-down-proves-the-silliness-of-inclusivity" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nationalpost.com&#x2F;opinion&#x2F;rex-murphy-cutting-honours-...</a><p>The problem is the administration: The board that sets the standards and the parents and politicians who sit on those boards.<p>The solution is this: Ban anyone without a minimum teaching experience of x years from participating on boards, bring all teacher salaries up to comfortable middle-class in every district and give them back their authority in the classroom. Otherwise this downward slide into illiteracy will continue until North America is dominated by an idiot majority.
