“The small ignorant minds of those that teach our brilliant kids is disgusting and needs to be stopped” - Do not waste your precious mental energy, it will never ever happen in this country. Teachers here are NOT for teaching, but rather for having a secure position that produces the income. They are allowed to brainwash their students and completely disregard the parents’ wishes, they do not have to listen to anybody!. Even the worst of the worst of the worst could not be fired…and, I am sorry, but I never heard of the useless MDs, ever! They work like hell, in residency they may work up to 80 hours / week, week after week with frequent 30 hrs shifts while earning in low 50k which is not even called a salary, it is called a stipend and while making a life/death decisions on the fly . I would like to see any teacher walking in these shoes! No, they only know “sick outs”, any MD who decides to “sick out” would loose their license immediately
. After saying that, I have to admit that my younger kid had awesome teachers who were paid much less than average and who did not have any job security…why? Because, the kid was attending the most expensive private k - 12 in our area…Her teachers would not “sick out”, they knew that they will loose their job if they did.
