The LA public school system spends like $16K per student.
And half the kids still can't read or do basic math.
Do you think that somewhere, someone, could teach these little fuckers to read for $16K a year?
Abso-fucking-lutely.
Education is the biggest racket mankind has ever seen.
Hundred years ago they'd send one 25 year old chick out into the backwoods of nowhere into a one room school house and she'd have to teach 30 kids of all ages absolutely everything.
And it worked. Because she wanted the kids to learn, and the kids wanted to learn. In fact, if the kids didn't learn, their parents were going to be fucking pissed.
But now the whole dynamic has changed.
Kids just want to be rappers and thugs, and teachers just want the money. They want that tenure. They want to climb that ladder into an administration position where they can be making $150K a year as an assistant administrator or any other number of made up staff positions.
And thanks to the teachers unions, any teacher that says "Wait a minute. This is fucking retarded. Why does an assistant administrator need to be a millionaire?" gets slapped down and transferred to the ghetto where they promptly lose all faith in humanity and retire.
I have nothing but admiration for teachers that actually want to teach - but their unions, their bolshevik comrades that treat teaching as an easy way to indoctrinate the youth, need to go get fucked.
We need to open up education to any group that wands to teach. More private schools, all of them competing against each other.
We should be PAYING kids to get As.
The whole fucking point of getting educated is to MAKE MORE MONEY.
>Go to College! Get a good degree! Make WAY more money than those rednecks with only a highschool diploma!
Every liberal agrees with that statement! But when they hear "Lets just pay students $1K per 'A'." they fucking lose their minds.
Why? Because it would fucking work. And that would mean less money for the unions.
