so I think we should ditch the teachers.

ok so we all understand the public school system is broken, this is a known, but after reading an article in the WSJ I think I know one of the reasons. we have to many teachers, this may seam awesome right ? cus there are a lot of ignorant kids (not dumb just lacking knowledge). Wrong, we have way to many teachers, (also BTW I don't want anyone to take this as a slam on teachers, its not I have a lot of respect for them cus I sure as hell couldn't teach the lil buggers). the problem is not that teachers aren't retiring or anything its that schools keep hiring extra teachers in good none recession years and when 3 years later the school and state are both going broke they can't lay off the teachers. so here's a real simple solution. DON'T HIRE MORE THAN YOU NEED. schools please stop being greedy, its unbecoming and no one feels it worse than you. expt for maybe the tax payers. on another note this sort of thing wouldn't happen as much if we ran schools as business but that's a WHOLE other argument and discussion.
