[QUOTE="Lammie, post: 810354, member: 3306"] You still can get a good education in most public schools, you just have to be interested in what you are doing. One thing they do offere that they did not when I was in school, a million years ago, is dual credit. My son can take classes in English and Math and get college credit for them. That's great and I'm all for it. Kids don't always know what they want, though, so parents have to get involved and know what their school is offering, to take advantage of that. No only can he get dual credit for some classes, he will finish school as a vet assistant. His school has a great vo-ed program. Why would you NOT take advantage of that? As for teachers being underpaid, well, not to insult any teachers out there, but my take on it is this: Where else is a 23 year old person with a Bachelor's degree gonna get RIGHT OUT OF SCHOOL and earn, what's the going rate around here, 40k? And that's not inlcuding any stipends he or she may get for sponsering clubs, coaching, band directing... That's a round figure. Some are less and some are more around here. And have spring break, Christmas break and yeah, some summer, although teachers these days have to attend training in summer. Gone are the days of lifetime teaching certificates. And good riddance. I realize that isn't exactly breaking the bank for a salary, but it beats the heck out of what a similarly degreed person minus the teaching cert. would make in this economy, provided they can get a job at all. And they would be working all year for that two weeks off. [/QUOTE]
