If the teachers I had were to teach today a lot of them would be in jail for assault and abuse. Times have changed. Today at our elementary schools the top waged teacher will at the end of their union contract make 94 thousand per year.Not bad for about eight months of work.Their union owns among other things the Toronto Maple Leaf hockey team and other investments in the billions.
What he said. Many of my teachers were just "poor teachers" and as a guy who needed a little bit of "extra push" I suffered several bad situations during crucial classes.
Algebra one teach, a REAL poor teacher, had had a stroke early in the year. Worse, after we re- aligned ourselves with the much better "sub" HE came back later in the year--completely disrupting the skedule. I didn't learn a damn thing from him
Same thing in Junior? Senior? chem. Instructor was a skier, broke his leg. I learned 10X as much from the sub as I did him, and once again, HE came limping back just in time to disrupt what we'd started to learn.
And, US History instuctor ran off to play with state legislature,, same tired old story....switch to sub, start over with learning, then at end of year the big shot came back to disrupt the skedule.
I did have one EXCELLENT old gal for Algebra II and "Senior Math" (Trig) who taught me more in just one or two years than I'd learned in the last 4. She was "old school" didn't take any guff, and kept you engaged. I don't remember her playing favorites, either.
Hot teachers? Um, no. Most were old enough to be my grandmother

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
