It's really sad that a kid at McDonalds can make more money than a teacher!

 

[Movies205]

Teaching is an altruistic profession, there is no way they can be paid what they deserved, because then the cost of running schools would go through the roof since the budgets are already strapped for cash as it is. So quit your *****ing, you knew it when you got into it.

 

[HellOnEarth]

What do you expect?

The school system is an utter disgrace, especially those here in LA. It's a failure to all our students.

The government believes if we score high on a test, then all the problems will be swept under the bed.

 

[November Rain]

meh, there's no real news about how teachers and nurses are getting trumped pay wise.

I understand that, but its wasn't the point of the article. The point is that a kid at McDonalds makes more money than a teacher. Thats just messed up.

 

[twylight]

I'm against goverment run and funded schools anyway.

Good point. No matter how much we spend on education, nothing changes. Students are still illiterate. 50% of kids are dropping out of highschool, and most of them ends up in gangs, selling drugs. Something has gone horribly wrong.

McDonald's owners, not the employees. Why do you skew your words and take it out of context?

What about the employees of McDonald? They can't even pay rent with that kind of money. They need to have three jobs.

Well that's a societal problem, if you live in the slums, then your doomed from the start. But if we're talking about a middle class neighborhood things change a little bit. Though it is sickening how schools have begun to be measured by tests then actual knowledge.

I think private schools are worse since the kids won't be exposed to the real world. Private schools are usually rich kids and religious kids. Yeah, I'm sure that'll prepare them for the real world.

Read again, bud. According to career builders you can become a manager after ONE year and make up to 40,000 dollars. Thats just wrong.

 

[blind_fury]

The children of the working class aren't worth a crap.

Just saying what the upper class is thinking.

 

[HellOnEarth]

No.

Both public and private school are crap.

You don't just become a manager. They do not hire employees to be a manager in one year. They use the same corrupt manager over and over, and the employees have absolutely no chance of becoming a manager. And even if they did, those chances are slim.

Well, ya know what it is....it's because they took prayer out of the schools.

 

[Catman]

No.

Both public and private school are crap.

So, you're against schools in general?

If they're rich they're already prepared!

I went to a catholic highschool with a tuition that's about 9 thousand a year now, it was made up of mostly middle class and some wealthy kids, and yes they were sheltered quite a bit but I see my little brother who opts to go to public school and those kids aren't much better. It depends where you live, really.

True, but even that slim chance is messed up. And, let's not forget about Assistant Managers. I actually knew some people back in high school who became Assistant Managers. Thats actually a pretty easy job to get since the majority of McDonalds employees quit after a few months. So, if you stick around long enough you'll get promoted.

I love twylight just a little more now

who cares, i know some teachers who don't deserve to be teaching at all. i had a teacher in the 7th for english i learned nothing the entire year. all he did was give us a packet full of words and we had to look up the definitions......that was all we did!!! and he sat aty his desk eating food in front of us. we always poked fun at how he did'nt teach us literature, he taught us how to eat.

 

[Movies205]

Does anyone look at the positive side of this which is that an unskilled person has a chance at making a half-way decent living at McDonnals?

 

[Catman]

It depends where you live, really.

That's true. If your school is in the middle of the ghetto then you're screwed. But, if its located in a good neighborhood and most students are from those good neighborhoods then, yeah, I guess it makes a different.

My high school situation was interesting since it was a mixture of both good and bad kids. lol. I don't think there a majority. It was pretty equal.

 

[Movies205]

My catholic school was interesting since kids from the ghettos of RI could go to it for free due to financial aid, which was interesting since it led to the black kids accusing other black kids of not really being black because they have money and there not gangster.

I agree to some degree. Yeah, there really are some HORRIBLE teachers out there who don't deserve the money. No question about that. But, at the same time there's teachers who really deserve it. For instance, I owe A LOT to my 5th grade teacher. He got me into writing which is now a big part of my job. And, my broadcasting teacher in high school really did prepare me. When I got to college I knew more than most students and that quickly got me ahead.
