While at UGA I had classes in huge auditoriums with 300 people. In biology I used field glasses to see the board and had to lean forward to hear the professor mumbling about the digestive tract. Next is the argument teachers need more money. Cops, firemen, garbage men, brain surgeons, all need more money. I need more money.
Teachers make enough, and the adminstators make too much for what they produce.
We are also making a huge blunder with dumping all these standardized tests on the kids who don't have the foggiest idea why they have to read those meaningless paragraphs. It's difficult to keep up with all the catchy names. Some testing goes on for a week. After a while, in order to look good for the school stats, teachers no longer teach to educate but teach the standardized exams. This will be a disaster in the long run.
