Comment on Does anyone else feel like 90% of the population is stupid?
djsoren19@yiffit.net 11 months agoIt’s not necessarily the teachers’ fault. Most of the teachers I’ve talked to legitimately want to help students. The issue is the administrations. I have school counselors who are refusing to write letters of recommendation for full-ride scholarships. Principals who don’t know what a pdf is. Testing coordinators who literally cannot read.
It infuriates me that most of the money that goes to schools ends up in the pockets of these administrative bureaucrats that do not care about children in the slightest. At best they are grossly incompetent, at worst they are actively malicious.

It’s definitely not their fault, per se.
They’re just doing their job. It’s how the system is set up.
The best teachers I’ve had were ones that routinely went outside of the curriculum to engage with students on a human level.
