Issues in American Education

I love Moyers.

Let’s put so much hope and trust into our teachers, pay them as if they were the trash we are barely willing to collect.

Let’s make sure they have no capacity to discipline their pupils.

Then, as often as not, let’s, send them into our inner cities and let them deal with gun violence that’s laid so many of their peers and so many of the tens of thousands of little pupils into early graves.

And then let’s blame them when our kids can’t read or write.

We deserve every cent of the cost to our society.
