Please go and train then work as a teacher in the public school system, then come back and give us an informed critique. Public Education is like a football game where there are more coaches than players on the field. And those coaches don't understand why those who once wanted to play enough to incur thousands of dollors of student loan debt, decide after getting on the field, that it not a place they want to be. Or, even the players who commited years to playing get burnt out and leave the profession. Its regrettable but this how it is. Not even the best tailor can make a silk purse out of a pig's ear, and Education is becoming a pig's ear, because those in charge of education have lost the plot. Its strange, no-one would ask a nurse to buy the equipment their patients need out of their own pocket, but hey, everyone expects teachers to provide stationary for their pupils, when their school's budget comes up short, even they like a lot more workers, have suffered stagnating real wage growth for decades, and their schools have been underfunded and neglected likewise. It's so bad, that the teaching profession in schools, colleges and universities is like a revolving door. People go into the profession and are lasting for about 5 to 7 years and then leaving. In my opinion, the french diplomat who said people get the governments they deserve, could have added education to that list, because its the same symptom of the same problem.
And a final thought, some of those teachers are here on YouTube - the Uber of the Content Creation industry - because their first love - teaching - broke not only their hearts, but their spirits too. They left to come here, even though there's no security of a regular salary, and they are still teaching, they are still putting more than 40 hours a week to create content, they are still dealing with the trolls, the people with no netiquette, and the faceless google machine, and everything else in this industry, producing some of the best content out there. But not in your children's classrooms. And you should really be asking why that's happening, and what you could be doing about it. Just a few thoughts.
