I was a teacher. I have a Masters Degree in Education. I've taught K-12 as well as University classes as an Adjunct. Further, I taught high school overseas for 10 plus years.
And in my humble opinion, US public education, on the whole, sucks ass.
If you are actually interested in seeing how our students are failing in comparison to students in other industrialized nations, check out the Program for International Student Assessment.

@esj8341 I would say our students are overtrained for the jobs they will be doing in America.
It makes little sense to do calculus in order to be a cashier at Wal-Mart.

@esj8341 What sort of studies have you done that have shown that it's the teacher and not the students that result in poor grades?
How would you evaluate student performance?

Re: Teacher pay K-12
Instead of the union mandated standards for pay, teacher pay should be based upon teacher performance.

@esj8341 How much should teachers make?

@jizzmonger
What is going on in our public schools is like what happened in the automotive industry.
Consider. Teacher unions are for union members (teachers) at the cost of education overall.
The products of education (public school students) are already substantially behind their international counterparts and still trending down.
