Wouldn’t it be better to spend the money on our children, and training, and paying people who actually can work with children? Or would you rather like to support those kids for life housing them in a prison.
Judging by the results we get from “professional” teachers, why should we throw more money down that rathole? At least with military spending, you get quality for the money; the best in the world, even without a union! teacher training is garbage, judging from the performance of your charges. And the idea that all that stands between the children and a life in prison is YOU getting more government money for your incompetent results is insulting. Everyone knows that the people with the lowest GPAs in college tend to become teachers and you have succeeded in making sure to add the barriers to prevent other, more competent people to enter the field. An extra year of college, lots of diversity crap and a politicized union that gets rich off of its members while keeping actual teacher wages low just guarantees more of the same as smarter people say “no thanks”. Public schools have corrupted themselves with leftwing garbage and it’s no wonder that more and more parents are homeschooling and producing educated young adults that leave public school students in the dust. Which just goes to prove the incompetence of public education in stark relief.
And as far a needing both parents to work, most of that is optional if people actually wanted to do it, despite the economically illiterate claim of “hard times”. It’s called priorities and delayed gratification. Just ask me; I pulled it off. I worked and my wife stayed home and we budgeted accordingly. We didn’t live in the best house and we didn’t drive new cars, nor did our kids get the 100.00 sneakers or other useless expensive crap that other kids “must have”. Oh and ‘It takes a village” is just collectivist nonsense.
