Hardly. I was a teacher for many years, and then worked in the computer
field for many years. I still do. I also teach. I'm no troll.
But I'm watching the outsourcing of much of America's technology. Many
great people have lost their jobs, replaced with people in India making
$5K a year. I used to teach in NY, and even South Dakota. In fact, I
taught in the poorest county of the US. Naturally, since I did a good
job and had techie skills they pulled me out of the classroom to do
techie work, write grants, and such.
I've never lost my enthusiasm and interest in education. I think most of
education is horrible, boring, and anti-thinking. I'm one of those
radicals that think that when you tell a young child not to talk, you
are telling them not to think.
I think education should emphasize music, the arts, creativity, as
opposed to this absurd trend of standardized testing. Check out some
research on MRIs on the brains of young music students. But instead
they spend their money on standardized tests.
Yes, parents are a tremendous factor. If a parent reads to a child, I
think that alone is critical.
I'm sure because of events I will teach again. That was why I started
following this group. A troll? Hardly. My point is quite valid.
This nation went from being the most productive nation in the world to
what? Try buying anything made in America. Now you're watching a brain
drain. GE has Patent Lawyers in India doing their patent law and
getting reviewed in the US. MRI's are being emailed to India to be
analyzed.
Meanwhile teachers live close to the poverty level, good ones working
incredibly hard. With little respect.
The day I left teaching and went to work in college people treated what
I had to say with far greater im****tance. That is very sad.
That's your troll.
