Teacher Salaries--Discuss
-
I'd argue that many of the people going all the way through the American education system have exactly the same deficits. Case in point is one of the protest leaders at Columbia begging the university to feed them. Here's her graduate student profile. ?

Agree with you on the slavery and teachers having higher pay topics. I think you're downplaying the drag nonsense. A colleague of mine pulled his kids out of Hawken School because they were having drag story hour events. You are conflating anti-education with anti-indoctrination. No one here, not even cal, would want their kids to be uneducated. But I'm pretty sure everyone here, including you, wouldn't want their kid to end up like this Johannah idiot above.
You're an engineer. Respectfully, that's still a decent field that shouldn't really require any DEI bullshit. Learn calc, learn applied math, go out and create stuff.
Unfortunately, medicine isn't nearly as shielded from that nonsense. In the US, medical education is pushing the idea that if a child is saying they are transgender, pushing them toward the path of hormone blockers is both acceptable and encouraged. If you are a resident, if you have moral qualms about doing that, and you speak out against that, you are opening up yourself to retaliation and possibly getting expelled from your program. Every medical school now has a DEI office, run by woke ideologues, that you run the risk of pissing off. So, sadly, everyone I know in pediatrics who went through it with that opinion just kept their mouth shut. It's become too politicized.
If you are asian or white and you score in the 90th percentile on your MCAT, you are less likely to get into medical school than a black or hispanic person who scores in the 75th percentile. Instead of raising the standard for people of all races, about 10-20 years ago, schools have instead tried to recruit classes that match the racial makeup of the entire country. There simply aren't enough black and hispanic applicants who have comparable test scores to whites and asians. Unfortunately, this has resulted in many black and hispanic students matriculating in the place of a more qualified white or asian applicant. And in a result that no one could have predicted, now there are a disproportionate number of blacks and hispanics failing out of residency programs.
I would guess that most people here are against the politicization of academia rather than education itself. I'm probably the most anti-higher education person on this board. Getting an education for STEM fields is mostly okay, but clearly there is something wrong when half of college grads end up working high school level jobs.
I'm proud of what I accomplished in school. You should be proud of what you accomplished, too. Learning and teaching are things that should be celebrated. It is very fulfilling and lucrative for a select few of us. Unfortunately, it's mostly a racket for the rest.
I'm sure she will have a lucrative career.?

If babylon bee or the onion did a parody of these people and used the name "King-Slutzky" people would have been saying that the name is too ridiculous.

Yes, and here I thought the purpose of the military (of which I spent 1/3 of my life) was to defeat the enemy.

I studied engineering. Slavery never came up
Well that explains a lot.
Where I went to school engineering students were required to take humanities and social science courses electives.
Black history wasn't an option tho, it was required. It began with learning all about the institution of slavery.
Slavery was taught as if it were the invention of the evil white man.
If I knew then what I know now, I would have pointed out to him the facts he failed to mention, and there are quite a few such as...
The census of 1830 lists 3,775 free Negroes who owned a total of 12,760 slaves.

Oh right right, I forgot it's core to the conservative experience to only think about things that directly impacted you.

chicago teachers should not make a salary - they should be paid by the hour they teach correctly.
Meaning, they don't get any pay.

Whines about white supremacy and systemic racism that 'still' affects blacks today, but gloats how well the little white engineer does all the while pretends that the mlb movement and crying has nothing to do with just wanting free stuff and be given a free ride just because he doesn't need anything. - dumbass cult

But I thought all the best teachers were leaving because they didn't make enough.

True enough. Then again I would bet that every person on this board with a month or two of training to teach just about every high school subject. Conversely I'd be surprised if there were more than one or two members that could do my job in a couple of months.
