Blaming teachers for teaching what they are told to teach is just stupid.In the real world you do not get to pass the buck if you cost your organization $100K
Yet they are still producing graduates who are not prepared for life ahead. That is NOT an excellent job!!!!
So exactly what value are they providing to our society?
Compensation and value have to be linked
If as you say it is the system that is failing, blow it up and start over with the objectives of
1. properly prepare the kids for life,
2. ensuring value obtained is aligned with the costs and
3. ensuring our education spend does not continue to expand the unsustainable amount of debt Ontario has assumed
Enriching teachers should not be an objective or the result
If you want to change the curriculum talk to the politicians who put the 'business model' in place.
Change the people who set the curriculum, not the people who teach it.
Its the business model that you are pushing that forced teachers to not fail students.
That's where the problem comes from, not the teachers, they'd love to be able to fail students again, you should ask them.
