>>12413559It's pretty bad at the moment, well, I suppose it's how you look at it. Overall, all schools are pushing students through successfully, but the quality of students has gone down. Instead of half the class failing and the other half being incredibly educated, you have all the students passing but they're all only somewhat educated. The intelligent students simply have to climb above on their own now, to which they do, and maybe it even makes them out to be smarter individuals then if they were assisted, but I feel many smart students don't climb out and they get stuck in mediocrity with the lesser students and get into bad habits.
Our schools have become like day-care centers or juvenile jails, where it's feast or famine and only the smartest rise to the top. Shame, because the changes done throughout the years to it were all in effort to prevent this very thing from happening -Promoting classism, elitism, and not allowing for equal opportunities, but now they encourage leaving children behind more than ever, I feel.
I thought about becoming a teacher like my mom, but I ended up quitting out of my program. I hated the other students (Spoiled entitled white yuppies), I hated the teachers, I hated the curriculum, I hated the god damned acronyms, I hated the lack of respect and pay, and I hated the red-tape everywhere. Teaching had little to do with teaching, and more-so with how to be a government mandated babysitter and brain-washer. Be careful of female students, parents, and the staff above you. You are disposable and the field is becoming more and more female dominated; you will be pressured into higher positions, higher education, or out of the field.
