Double edged sword.

We have science and math teachers here in NC who do not know their subject matter- and they laugh about it, knowing they can’t get fired.

LVQ, the political climate is one thing. That we’re not teaching our kids is a whole other problem.

Maybe that’s a problem with NC not funding their schools?

I had science and math teachers in Washington state that ran their own prostethic limb consulting firms and coded their own Macintosh applications. I had art classes in public school run by a graphic designer who’s done jobs for fortune 500 companies.

Public school. I’d put my public school trig/C++/pascal teacher against any private school math teacher in the country. She’d lay waste to anyone with her gigantic brain.

And probably also wouldn’t get hired at a catholic school because she was an out very butch lesbian and would not fit into the culture of most private schools at all.
