We need to value our Teachers

A great teacher will impact their students lives more than anything else can. The public school system does not value it's teachers enough. A great teacher will be an expert in the field that they teach. Unfortunately teachers are not permitted to teach their curriculum to the best of their capability but are rather shackled down to teach how the "core" wants them to. Forced to do menial labor and to pass that labor on to the children, assessing them every step of the way. The board of education loves assessments. The schooling mindset has become a Borg mindset which enforces all people to teach and learn the same way as the collective. The lack of freedom for teachers have turned students into sheep. Most "strait A" students become so by blindly doing assignments without thinking to much for themselves; these students will move on to become great successes in life. Other students might use critical thinking skills in other parts of their life and recognize the unimportance of doing a standard worksheet. The system will label them as lazy or unintelligent (uncooperative) and set them behind forcing them to play an endless game of "catch-up work." These students will move on to a difficult life, because of their attitude towards paperwork between the ages of 14-17, they might not go to college or get a career suited for them. A great teacher will be able to adjust the standard teaching methods permitted by the state enough to properly teach all their students, but a good teacher will not. It's an important part of the job for a teacher to adjust their curriculum throughout the school year. Good teachers often become teachers, but great teachers can make far much more money doing something else with their expertise in the field.
