Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tsyr" data-source="post: 420054" data-attributes="member: 354">Nah. Not hostility towards teachers.Hostility towards people who are getting payed to teach but think standing in front of a class reading verbatim from a book counts as teaching, could care less about their job, care less about the students, and tell the parents of kids that get bad grades that their kid might have ADD. Those aren't teachers, though. They are people with a teaching license. I doubt you fit into that second group, Eric. Unfortunatly, the public schools where I grew up have 10 of those for every 1 "teacher". Hence why I transfered to a new charter public school for highschool. A public school that was under-funded, I might add. For the first year, the teachers didn't get payed a dime. For the second year, they barely got payed. We only started to get fuding from the state on the third year, and even then it's not as much as other schools in the area got per student, despite the fact that we were a  public school. I'm not saying that's the best way for a school to be. Quite the contrary, it sucked. But I will say one thing. Every one of those teachers WANTED to be there, because it was a school designed to teach at a higher level (It's now being called a college prep school by the media around here... that's not what it is, though). One shouldn't need to go to such extreme lengths to find good teachers, but in some areas , you do. Not all, no. But some. No, I don't hate teachers. I'm actualy going to college with the intent of (eventualy) becomming a teacher. Not right away, I want to get some other stuff under my belt first, but it's my "mid range" goal. Long range is win the lottery and retire for life, but I don't think I'm ever gonna reach that mark. Unfortunatly.Anyways, didn't mean to go off like that, really.</blockquote>
