Obama and Education ( Why does school have to be longer?)?
Here is an idea that might work. What we can do instead of making school longer and making teachers work harder is to make parents more accountable for the children they have. (Obviously this wont buy votes like NCLB Act and what Obama is doing now.) I am a teacher, 25 yrs old, and I already see the pattern. I have kids who do not have that outside motivation from parents and those same parents, I am sure, collect tax rebates because they have children under 18. Instead of rewarding those parents for poor scoring children, lets take away that tax cut from the parents who have children that do not meet the standards on the state standardized test ( in Texas we have the TAKS test). Take that extra money collected and use it to pay the underpaid teachers. State minimum is a little over $27,000. More pay in the teaching profession will allow for a rise in demand of higher "cl" or "smarter" or " quality" individuals to take the job. From this reform there will be a better quality education in America and allow us to compete with the global economy. The answer is in front of our faces. Any oppose? Why?
