The Assembly Line

The system of schools needs a radical overhaul and I am just plain pissed with the way things are run at the current moment. Of the things that make me angry the one that has me most concerned is that schools are being treated as a business rather than as an investment in our future. Teachers should rewarded for the quality of their teaching and the students need to be challenged to succeed but not with the amount of work but with the quality of work. Teach them how to imagine new ideas how to be creative and think up solutions to problems. We need to teach students how to learn and listen and not just tread water. This is a problem in all levels of our school system from elementary up to college level. So in summary schools are for teaching not for business. This is a investment in our future it's we started investing. It's not supposed to be an assembly line.
