Who will teach the less fortunate? Who would have taught people like Albert Einstien who didnt speak until he was nine years old? Or students like Bill Gates who struggled in school and even dropped out? But I forgot, the right doesnt care about those people at first. Only after they are wealthy.

Yeah, there's a mature way to deal with a problem that faces our nation, just run away, quick fix. Typical of the response to our school system by many who are on the outside looking in.

Wouldn't I be considered one of those teachers who doesnt care about their students, you know, the ones the right is so desperately trying to fire if I took your advice?

People change jobs all the time. Afraid you'll lose your "seniority" or tenure? That's it isn't it. Continue to hide in failure but collect your money and pension.
You admit that you are not getting it done but blame others. Sort of like your hero, Barack.

All the country's problems are the fault of teachers, fireman and union workers.

End of story.

I just feel bad for the bankers and investment people who lost all of their hard earned dollars because of teachers.

Such a shame.

If answering questions correctly is a measure of intelligence, then Google is smarter than Einstein.

Students aren't failing because of teachers or lack of funding. Students are failing because the gene pool has been polluted with undesirables thanks to modern medicine. Think of all the ER time spent patching morons up who almost killed themselves due to their own idiocy. Those people should be dead and not allowed to breed.

We are dumb as a nation because we allow the dumb to reproduce.

allow it? we subsidize it.
