EDUCATION

The key is that then I had teachers that were interested in the students actually learning. I have run into a few that could care less, My Biology teacher for example who thought it better to teach the health benefits of Goat Milk and how his live stock were doing than Biology. Or the college professor who stood in class every day and gave the same speech on how Alabama sucks and Iowa is much cleaner and then gave open book tests. There are a lot of teachers like this and they need to be taken out NOW! They do not challenge students, they hinder them and that is why we need teachers to be held to a standard.

You're right. There are teachers out there that couldn't care less if their students learn anything or not. It used to be you couldn't teach if you didn't pass the certification test but some schools were having a hard time getting their graduates past the test. So, they asked to state to lower the grade level needed to be certified. Lower the grade needed to be certified, the lower the educational value of that teacher. IF the state required more from their teachers, the better our educational level will be.
