I am at that same crossroads as...Well said Trenton. I am at that same crossroads as you where you cannot have one without the other. Either you have both a completely rational society and the best contributors of that society would be teachers or you do not. One cannot work without the other. Take, for instance, the current state of affairs in the United States. On one end of the spectrum I think we all can agree that our society is somewhat rational, stable in its borders, and not torn asunder by civil wars and madmen vying for power. Our teachers currently in place are the best of the best… for now.<br /><br />Yet, if I think of other nations in the world where their emphasis is the importance of education and they cannot RECEIVE that education whether out of fear or danger or hunger. I think we are on the cusp of seeing a multitude of the BEST of us teachers migrating to retirement or some other walk of life because of how bad the education system has gotten here in the United States. My fear ultimately is the antithesis of Lee Lacoca’s quote… What if there are no more best of us to teach a society that is on the cusp of crisis? Imagine that world and what it would mean for our future generations.<br /><br />Mr. H<br />Mr. Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02569923533729018338noreply@blogger.com
