I was in the classroom for 33 years. What you are describing is possibly high school or college. Elementary teachers have 2-3 times the workload. Even veteran teachers are overwhelmed. I did many years as an inner city teacher. Overwhelmed at times was a understatement |

In most cases, more money isn't the answer.
Baltimore spends the most money per student than any other city in the country.. And it ranks at the bottom in student learning. Google for the statistics. This is true for many big cities as well. Money isn't the answer. Revamping the system is.

Is the system that different now than when we went to school? Do most people here think they got a great education, good education, adequate education, or poor education? It seems with the internet, every kid has access to a great education. There are lectures and videos on every subject. In today’s world, I have more access to information from my home computer than I did at my college library. With remote learning, students should have access to the best teachers in the country and not have to put up with poor teachers. Sort of like Great Courses. Think of the money we could save. Why haven’t we done it or at least tried it in some school districts? The educational industry would object but the purpose of schools is to educate the children - not provide jobs for teachers and administrators. We seem to doing the latter much better than the former! Here is an 8th grade test from 1912. I would bet that 80% of today’s high school graduates could not pass it.
