I know this is typical for the US so this is more for US people to respond to. I wouldn’t say that it is the best system for work, just wondering about the disconnect.

    While the kids are doing whatever they used to call homework in class. Split classes between teachers: one supervises while one works.

          “My wife’s a primary school teacher so I know enough to solve education issues”

              “Functional” does not equal “practical”, nor does it even remotely equate to “looking down on primary school teachers”

              Let’s go ahead and ignore every other “functional solution” because it’s too (insert excuse) to work.

              What we’re currently doing in the US works so well, it’s why we lead the world in education… I think. Idk, I never learned any nuance besides standardized tests. But I’m ok, teachers and kids are just lazy

                You might want to look up the educational standards for lower grades to HS.

                It is better at the college level, though.

              No its because I am a teacher and you have no idea what you’re talking about

                  I’m in a different country, dipshit. And I’m not a slave to my phone, like you.

                  One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned since teaching is that the less someone knows about education, the more certain they are that they’re the only one smart enough to fix it.

                  “B-b-but my wife/mother/husband is a teacher and they agree!!!”

                  No. They just want you to shut the fuck up.

                  “I went to school! I know how it works!”

                  You were born. That doesn’t mean you know how to give birth.

                    Uh, have you met any animals? Childbirth is pretty instinctual. Where are you on that mount stupid? I suggested an option, I didn’t anywhere say it was the only one. The fact that I haven’t sat through a credential program doesn’t mean I’m summarily dismissed from the conversation. I’d wager your entire annual salary that my degrees are better than yours.

      So are you asking for twice as many teachers or twice as many kids per teacher?

      The struggle to hire teachers is already high and the GOP is trying to put as many obstacles as possible to slowly strangle public schools and shift to charter/private schools.
