Re: Why Teachers Suck!!!

teachers are part of a failed system of education. To blame them is to blame the victims.

@crazyhorse1369 If you want something bad enough, you go after it. If you want to teach, there are grants and loans that you can get to pay for school, and your GI bill will reimburse the loan part. Grants are free money with no paybacks.

As I was saying, the rich and powerful write history, that's why we don't know how the pyramids were built, or who fought the wars, except the leaders/generals, etc. Or who lost the wars. Are you in US, or deployed?

@crazyhorse1369 If you like history, I suggest you pick up A People's History of the United States, by Howard Zinn. It's a front to back history of America from the perspective of "the people," that is, the common people, not the rich. If you studied any history in school, you should know that history is most generally written by the rich and powerful, the winners, so we're taught a biased "whitewashed" history. That is why our history books go from one conquerer empire to the next.

@peacelf Sounds good , With the gi bill you have to pay outta your pocket and then they pay the money back to you . I really don't see why they do it like that but thats how my friend did it . Teaching sounds fun but idk lol .

@crazyhorse1369 Well, then it's simple: when you get out, and I assume you're not a lifer, you can pursue your educational aspirations thanks to a generous GI bill (that is, if the new Republican House majority doesn't try to cut benefits again). I was 26 when I went to college, finished my BEd when I was 34. By then the teacher market will rebound. And, if you like "action", do like I did and teach in a central city school. Never a dull moment. best, Peacelf

@peacelf welcome, I joined the military for many reasons , one reason is because i wanted to leave my town and see the world , Other reason is , i wanted to get in the action lol . Never thought about education untill recently .

[peacelf]

@crazyhorse1369 Thanks for your service. Did you join the military because you had few options after graduation given the poor quality of your education, as you put it?

[crazyhorse1369]

@crazyhorse1369 What's stopping you from going to get a masters in history?

[crazyhorse1369]
