Yeah i guess ur right Xavious, but its not their fault, its probably cause they were raised to beleive they didn't need to need an education too badly cause they see how well their parents are doing with money

I'm sorry for not being clearer; to expatiate, at my highschool, the way it worked, was a new teacher came to the school and taught a general subject. It could have been anything, math, science, english, etc. They could have elected to coach PE, or art, or music, etc.
What I meant was, they didn't go to school and studied intensively English, for the pure reason to teach english. There's very few highschool 'specialists'. That's more of a college-type professor.
Understand that, to a teacher, most of the teaching material is provided. They're told what to teach, and how to say it. I had a new english teacher my junior year, and while her english was good, she had very little understanding of the subtle nuances of the english language. It was as much a learning process for her, as it was for us. But you have to think, that a few years, teachers memorize the information they teach, as well as the fact that many teachers teach the same subject for many years.

The point is that we need to have some sort of incentive for educated people to become teachers. The fact is that our generation will not produce enough teachers to educate the country. We will have to provide a reason for people to become teachers.. not enough ppl want to teach out of the goodness of their hearts. Wouldn't want to outsource our teaching jobs.. or would we? lol

I know that there arent many teachers that care about the future of this nation, but at their own future.
But i still don't understand why they became teachers in the first place if they won't commit to it 100%. There are many jobs out there that that pay more than a teaching job, so i thought they chose to be a teacher to ensure that all students will get their education.

They probably felt they would be committed to it, but overtime, it may grow mundane and repetitive or stressful so they start to not care.

I know a large and motley bunch of teachers who are burnouts. Some of them aren't quite dead yet, and they'd love to hear a student want to learn.
In a way, you're pulling into the victimization culture of America, the whole "it's not my fault" business. My parents didn't have a whole lot. I remember living in a trailer park until I was four. I got a bed for my fifth birthday. I slept in that bed all last summer. Did money and crummy school districts keep me from learning? No.
Blaming your problems on another group is a darn good way to excuse yourself for bad decisions. Not to insinuate anything, but there's a lot of history for cycles like that: 1950s USA (Communists), 1930s Germany (Untermenschen), Present-day Texas (Immigrants), Off-and-on MidEast (Zionists). The list could go on for a long time.
I could write more, but I'll leave it there for now.
