CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY SEPTEMBER 27, 2024
HERE’S SOMETHING THAT SHOULD COME AS NO SURPRISE. MOST K-12 PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS ARE UNHAPPY WITH THEIR JOBS AS STAFFING SHORTAGES AND LEARNING LOSSES FROM THE PANDEMIC LOCKDOWN HAVE EXTENDED INTO THE CURRENT ACADEMIC YEAR. THIS, ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL COUNCIL ON TEACHER QUALITY.
REPORTING ON THIS STORY, THE WASHINGTON TIMES SAYS RECENT STUDIES FOUND ONLY 46 PERCENT OF TEACHERS RESPONDING TO A 2023 MERRIMACK COLLEGE SURVEY SAID THEY WOULD ADVISE THEIR YOUNGER SELVES TO ENTER THE PROFESSION. ONLY 1 IN 5 SAID THEY ARE “VERY SATISFIED” WITH THEIR CAREERS.
THE STORIES ABOUT VIOLENCE, TRUANCY, LOSS OF RESPECT FOR TEACHERS, LOW GRADES AND AUTOMATIC PROMOTIONS ARE LEGION. THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM IS ANCIENT COMPARED TO OTHER ENTITIES THAT HAVE LONG GONE, ALONG WITH HIGH BUTTON SHOES AND THE MODEL T FORD. YET IT PERSISTS BECAUSE OF TEACHERS UNIONS AND THE DONATIONS THEY MAKE TO DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS. THIS IS WHY SCHOOL CHOICE IS SWEEPING THE NATION. IF ABORTION IS A CHOICE – AND IT ISN’T – SCHOOL CHOICE SHOULD BE, TOO. I’M CAL THOMAS.
