Yes, SOME of the blame has go to to teachers. I've subbed for a teacher who was suspended for punching a student. I subbed for another who grabbed a student by the front of the shirt and lifted him up in anger. Teachers aren't perfect.
Thing is, all the degrees in the world do not prepare a person to TEACH. If you ask ANY teacher, he/she will tell you that the real teaching training begins the first time the candidate faces the classroom. If you see a teacher who has been on the job for more than ten years, that is a VALUABLE part of the system, because that person has had training that NO university can provide.
The other problem is, it is the teacher's job to TEACH, not manage a bunch of idiots who were never properly raised by their parents, who don't want to be there and who think nothing of disrupting the class.
And for a lot of you goose stepping NaziLibs, it's not a race thing.
I've subbed at many inner city black-ish schools were most of the student body was black, (one school in particular where the front office gave us a sheet outlining the fact that a lot of the boys were actually the man of the house. That actually happened.) This little black hoodlums were raised by THESE entitled thug parents.
By the same token I've subbed at some predominately white schools with almost a MIRROR IMAGE of the same misbehavior and lack of parental guidance. And the schools didn't always wind up in low income neighborhoods.
So it's NOT about race or color. Unlike racist liberals (yeah, I know, that's a redundancy) I am colorblind when it comes to education. I've subbed at one inner city elementary school where the kids (mostly black) were as well behaved as college students. I've subbed at rich schools (with kids driving up in Porsches) where I wanted to break a chair over the head of an entitled piece of shit who won't shut up.
Oh, and in some areas that are predominately Latino, I was surprised at how well behaved the kids were. Turns out, as a culture their parents would whip the shit out of them if they acted up in class. So it's not about national origin, either.
Most of the problems in education are about negligent parents.

It’s really a societal change yes in how we are raising future generations. Teachers also need and deserve higher pay and higher levels of support in schools. That’s how you retain good long term employees. :)
@YoungPoet345 Well as a matter of fact, the FREE MARKET does apply even in teacher salaries. MOST teachers I know stay on because the job is really awesome, but when their salaries do not keep pace with rising housing costs, they leave the profession and then the demand for subs goes up. I've seen it happen. Teacher pay varies from county to county. There is ONE county where teacher pay goes up a bit each year automatically. Some have criticized this as giving teachers a raise they didn't earn. But time on the job is what evolves a teacher. It's actually a good idea. A teacher of four years is more valuable than a teacher of three years.
@YoungPoet345 Once teachers show actual performance rather than following and indoctrinating leftist agendas, then maybe they'd be deserving of their pay.
@NativePortlander1970 @NativePortlander1970 One thing I've seen for sure in Florida schools: Teachers here teach the subject and pretty much leave the political indoctrinating to the inferior blue state schools. Yes, I've subbed for a few left winger teachers. (One had an OBAMA poster on the wall. One had a BLM sticker on his desk). None of that bullshit wound up in the lesson plans.
@NativePortlander1970 See, that's where the state of FLorida is way ahead of the rest of the country. It was around the turn of the century when Governor Jeb Bush (first Republican governor in a generation) signed into law an education reform package that would pull Florida up from the lower 48 percent into the top ten in America. A lot of that had to do with testing and holding teachers accountable.
I read the bill when it first came out. Obviously the teachers didn't like it, because teachers (especially in formerly Democrat Party controlled situations) believe they are not to be held accountable for their actions. It allowed for a lot of parental choice, as far as sending a kid from one school to another. It even allowed for inner city kids to be eligible for government paid PRIVATE SCHOOLS if their inner city schools were failing. Naturally, the Democrats challenged that one in court because there's NO WAY their little pickaninnies will be allowed the excellence of a PRIVATE SCHOOL, and take them out of the ghetto plantation their SLAVE owner Democrats put them.
Since then, legislation has been passed over and over again to improve the conditions of Florida schools. For the most part, they are the best in the country, although results vary from county to county.
The red counties seem to be showing the better results. Blue counties like Broward are a colossal joke to the professionals in this state. Broward's dumbass sheriff's department won't even walk on campus to stop a roving shooter.
