Cut the school day to save money....cut the art/music classes to save money...how far do we go? Public school has become a disgrace. I'm all for public schools, I went clear through them. But I'm ready to see more private schools around that will offer tighter administration, teachers with authority to manage their classes, and a focus on teaching kids as much as possible.
Plus, pay the teachers well to do an important job! There is no shortage of teachers in the world! Snatch up the good ones and let the kids benefit. Give them the ability to manage their classes without fear of lawsuits and hiding behind the teacher's union.
I see too many politics, disgraceful decisions, and lack of focus on educating children. I say this after seeing my wife teaching in public school for several years. She loved her job, but quite frankly, it became too overwhelming and emotional for the pay. And I would say the kids lost great educational oppurtunities because of it.
Especially given our lean economic times where sysadmins are busy as hell. I agree that the additional responsibility of trying to track versions could be quite cumbersome.
I agree fully here. Fostering capable people with a focus and skills and knowledge is a great way to build up solid employees. Degrees help, but lack the same level of focus on details and application.
The most votes = the true theory? I say exhaust the evidence for either case and let the children use their brains a little. What a great opportunity for a child to connect the dots for themselves and reach their own conclusions.
