Although I agree completely, that's a very high expectation of teachers (pre-college) for the amount they get paid.

- sologoub 13y agoThat's a really sad comment. Teaching may not pay well, but the tenured teacher has significantly higher job security and potential for other incomes. Yes, it's not a typical programmer pay, but if you are taking it upon yourself to teach children, you take on far more responsibility than any pay can justify and you should act like it.
- twelvechairs 13y agoThat's easy to say but the world isn't so easy. being a teacher is hard and not paying well means you don't always attract the best people to do it. programmers also have job security of knowing they are basically always employable right now unless completely hopeless. and programmers have ethical responsibilities which are frequently ignored too.
- hnal943 13y agoThat's a very high expectation of teachers, full stop. What are they supposed to do? They only have influence over these people for an hour a day, which is the time they are supposed to be teaching the subject.
