Interesting discussion ! I am a school teacher by day and run a martial art school at night. It is true - do not be a teacher if you want financial success. I plan on leaving teaching as soon as my martial arts school is up and running strong.
One could write a book on the perils of public school. Student behavior is the main problem. As for college, I am sure I will get slammed for writing this - but here goes......
First let me say I am a conservative. The problem in colleges and universities is the domination by the tenured radicals of the 60's. In the name of multiculturalism, the classics of Western Civilization are slowly being removed. The best of what has been thought and written is dying. Kids have no idea of Homer, Aristotle, Plato, Chaucer, Dante, etc. These essential writings have contributed to the success of America. Historical revisionists rewrite history to please minorities. Minorities have contributed much to this great country. They do not need rewritten history to prove it. We must look at greatness for what it is - simply greatness. Multiculturalists look at greatness as "dead white males", and unnecessary to education.
Other cultures have much to offer all. I am a student of other cultures and believe they should be studied. Look at the marvelous civilization of the ancient Egyptians, or the great heritage of Asia. Much to study - much to learn. BUT....not at the expense of our own Western Heritage.
