I addressed that. A top scoring school in ITBS/ITED. I went to a great college and ended up going to professional school. I don't feel I had any obstacles to the life I now have because of primary school. But there were still problems.
And yes, I think we should pay teachers more. It would draw in more people who are actually good educators. Are you trying to make a point?

My point was that your experience is completely anecdotal yet you claim it as fact. If your school was ranked well, then you got bad teachers in an otherwise good school. Assuming all teachers are improperly trained and dumb is just plain ignorant.

I claimed it as a personal opinion. You're looking for a fight and I'm not interested

You never once mentioned the words "personal" or "opinion".
Here are some exerts from your posts:
>Permafrost always reminds me of how broken the education system can be. ​
>The problem is that the education degree has very little to do with the subject matter being taught...Yet we have almost none of the basic subject matter in the training for those tasked with training our kids. It's silly ​
Seems awfully universal to you in these posts my guy.

You still seem to be looking for a fight. Do you disagree that we should have educators that understand the material?
Maverick0984 t1_jbuh3gm wrote
If that's your question, you clearly don't understand what I'm saying.
The vast majority of teachers do understand the material. You had some weird bad luck and that's the end of it.

It's weird how you don't seem aware that your statement is also anecdotal. My experience was that there are plenty who don't understand it. If you didn't have that experience perhaps you were lucky or you also didn't understand the material.

I'm not the one with the claim. Burden on proof lies with you.
SpecterGT260 t1_jbuqone wrote
I'm not trying to prove anything. I am just stating my experience. Based on that experience, I believe the proportion of teachers who are teaching subjects they are unfamiliar with is too high.
Maverick0984 t1_jbuqywb wrote
Yeah, that's not the only thing you said though. You made blanket claims. See the previous post of mine where I pointed a couple of these instances out. You are trying to backpedal those statements now.
SpecterGT260 t1_jbusmrf wrote
My mistake. The statement has been amended here. What is your next issue, sir?
