touchy subject

kindergarten/playschool:
teachers usually are just there as babysitters. giving kids a paintbrush or a ball to play with while parents work.
some do however go the extra mile to inspire and teach. but broadly its a babysitting gig.
its a little hard to gauge which Kindergarten teacher has gone the extra mile. unless their was a 'parent survey' teacher review system to rate teachers based on toddlers behaviour.

k-12/primary school:
classes teach the basic things society need to get on day to day. reading, calculating. learning a bit about history and how things work. which is pivotal for making the difference of the success of a kid in later life. this needs to be rewarded to ensure all kids get a good first step into eduction and life. by this i mean rewarded based on a % based on the success of all kids in the class meeting basic thresholds.
many schools/education systems dont have diploma's or exams, where kids move on to secondary/highschool even if they have not learned how to read or write where by 'graduating' is based on age not skill.

kids should not be held back from their peers by keeping them in k-12 until they pass an exam. but k-12 teachers should not get a bonus if half the class cant read when the kids age-out of k-12.

..

highschool/secondary school:
teach kids many things. but sometimes useless things that are never used in the real life, taking time away from things that might be used in the real world.. like wasting weeks on trigonometry, but not taking a day to learn about how banks 'print money' using the scam deception of credit cards and mortgages. i think keeps should learn about responsible 'lending'/using credit. more so than trigonometry.

teacher should be more rewarded for teaching life skills and things that are needed. not rewarded for following a national curriculum plan
..

universities/colleges:
each student pays on average $£10k+ a year and a class is like 30+students strong, some 100 per class. meaning the professors are paid many hundreds of thousands.. by which the quality and depth of detail of those classes should reflect over $300k of professors teaching.
many university professors just turn up, write a title on a chalk board, and ask their students to do their own research on the topic. something not worthy of $300k a year

..
im not saying dont reward teachers for what they are doing now. im saying add in some incentive for teachers to go the extra mile. and reward that with extra reward

Exclusive video that was obtained by the Austin American-Statesman and KVUE shows mass chaos and confusion inside and outside Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, on May 24, as well as the chaotic first moments as the recent massacre of 19 children and two adults began to unfold.

The video begins by showing the suspected killer crashing his vehicle into a ditch near the school before getting out and apparently taking his first shots at two people who appear to be police officers approaching his vehicle. He then takes aim and fires directly at the school.

Next, a female teacher is then heard yelling, “The kids are running! Oh my God … Get down! Get in your room! Get in your rooms!”

The video clips also include audio of when shots are first fired at the school from outside the building.

From there, the killer is seen entering the school at 11:33 a.m. At one point, a young student comes around a hallway and sees the shooter but the shooter does not see the student.

Caption in the video informs viewers that the shooter then began to open fire inside two classrooms, where the shooting continued for two and a half minutes. The video explains that more than 100 shots were fired. That particular footage, however, has been removed from the video, as well as screams from the children.

The cost of getting quality education is not only expensive in western countries but also in developing world where it is not easy to bear sky high tuition fees of   universities  for a middle class family but despite all this they somehow  manage it as  they understand the importance of education for the future of their children . The teaching is a  well paid profession and most of them really work hard to provide quality education to their students with few exceptions and their role of building nation deserves high respect from society.

Teachers deserve more


... punishment, when they teach the wrong things. Nowadays, many teachers don't care about what they teach, as long as they can get a big paycheck.

Yes, after homeschooling my child, I really bow my head to the teachers, patience with them and, of course, a decent salary plan. Because not everyone can teach someone. I personally can't stand it.

The teachers do more than the parents in the life of the kids, the parents job at that tender age is to build them. Teachers makes the kids to be able to think upright, teachers help the children to understand the purpose of life at that tender stage. The teacher spend more time to be with the kids.

Teachers deserves respect that is the most expensive thing and you cannot buy it can be only earned but today the way if education becomes a business rather than a service and teachers also coming from that stress so they aren't taking care except their academic performance.

Teacher is a person who can teach us anything. Like, reading, writing, speaking, working etc. Teacher is the man makers. Without teacher we cannot learn anything. From the basic level our teacher try to level to teach us. Our teacher works very hard for teaching us. We should provide them proper respect.
