Fixing Education

What about this aspect of the problem?

Teacher attrition is a problematic issue in education that many schools around the nation have to face. Many school districts focus on teacher recruitment when the real problem is teacher attrition. “Low-performing urban schools are experiencing the brunt of the teacher shortage” (Wise & Levine, 2002). These schools are forced to hire inexperienced and unprepared teachers. Sixty percent of teachers in urban settings leave within three years (Wise & Levine, 2002).

Well it is nice to know they have a short two word to describe this issue. Have two close friends being teachers (used to be) a lot of the issues here in that article they stated. However, this appears to be a symptom in my opinion of the broader issue with education. It seems to point towards bureaucracy and mediocrity. I found from what my friends stated is a lot of political pressure and the stupid cookie cutter teaching methods. I feel the solution resides in the root of the problem itself, which is not simple either. We can give the teachers plenty of tools, but that will not make a rebellious, or hopeless feeling student learn. I kinda see what you mean the complexity of this issue.
