(1) Qualified, college educated teachers should be paid wages that are competitive with other vocations.

(2) Tenure should be dropped as a stupid relic of the past.
tenure helps teachers try new methods of teaching because they can't be fired as easily. schools today like their procedures and not actual learning. I've had many tenured teachers try new things- against school policies- and we've done better than other classes. non-tenured teachers have explained that they could never try this.

(3) Teacher's Unions have ruined the process of education and should be replaced by standards, values, and competition.
unions are needed. but better communication and for unions, school boards, teachers, students and parents to agree to work together

(4) A teacher's object is not to teach - but rather to increase their student's knowledge.
agreed. too often we worry about test result, using up th whole class time, and other things that may not actual increase knowledge. anyone can study for a test and forget everything the next day or sit in a room not learning for 50 minutes, while others learn more in 20.

(5) A teacher's measure of success must be determined by appropriate grade level student testing.
not fair to teachers with students who refuse to do work

(6) No student should be advanced to the next grade level without passing.
this is especially true for jocks

(7) Beginning in 4th grade, all teaching must be done in ENGLISH only.

(8) From Kindergarten thru 3rd grade non-English speaking children must undergo instruction in the English language.


we should make the school environment better, its hard to learn when there are 50 unnessacary rules and students who disrupt others
