So they should go into private education do only the rich or lucky can get a good education?
Or do you think that teachers are the ones directing public education policy?
Or are you saying that somehow not participating in a flawed system will somehow fix it?
The entire purpose behind policies that hinder quality education is to drive skilled educators away. To choose not to participate is the best way to expedite the goals of those who benefit from poor quality education.
We cannot keep with this horrible system that does nothing but torture kids and teachers alike. It's not working. It's clear it's not working. Change will never come from the top, because like you said, they will never voluntarily change it. So it must come from the bottom.
So in the mean time we should just abandon students to the people fucking up the system?
One can't just snap their fingers and make everything better, reality does not work that way.
No but there are two things we should be doing; even non-teachers. Be a role model for even a single kid. Gain their respect so they want to learn your wisdom. An afternoon of doing anything with a kid who respects you can do more than months of school. Teach them how to be upstanding and how to think.
The other part is teachers need to organize a new system in which teachers are in charge of teaching. It'll never happen unless you start. Sitting around and bitching about the education system for going on decades now is just pathetic.
