Would you end up with money seekers like failed politicians?

  We need normal schools that teach teachers like we used to. There are teachers who know less math than students and speak less than perfect English. If you’re a teacher you should have some basic competency thresholds.

    My wife (engineer) taught a class called 'Math for Teachers', which was designed to teach elementary school teachers basic math. Not how to teach it, just how to do basic math themselves. A significant number should have failed that class but the administration refused to allow her to fail teachers who were failing for 'reasons'. She quit the job.

      Absolutely what I observed as well with SF school teachers. Some were good and knew basic math and basic grade school English but a good number spoke and wrote like dropouts.

  No, because teaching is fucking hard. You aren't accumulating power. And you actually have to show up every day. Being a teacher is probably the opposite of being a politician.
