<<If we want good education for our kids we've got to get better teachers, pay them six figures, give them intellectual authority, and hope for the best.>> You are talking about a work force in the hundreds of thousands. Although there are some gifted and talented members of the team, the typical teacher in America does not represent the educated elite of our society. My observation of them is that many are barely able to cover a text book with their students even though they have a curriculum guide that coaches them through the instruction of every page. The problem with our school system doesn't rest on these people, Thank God.
