You're talking on behalf of the 20% ( if that ) of teachers in the US. But do we really want to get into the other 80% ( maybe more ) that are nothing more than pieces of shit that waste everyone's time and suck up taxpayer money? While I'm all for teachers being paid more, if we're going to do that then becoming a teacher has to require having an IQ above 20, ACTUALLY be evaluated by the students as well as other faculty so the students' voices can be heard and weed through the shitty teachers, and have the entire "education" system be reevaluated since its nothing more than a burning pile of dogshit on taxpayers' front doorstep that they continuously throw money into.

+ThatFalloutGod IQ is worthless to measure intelligence. You will never get enough money the school would need. You can´t properly educate 30 people in one class with one person. All you can do is show the kids what they have to learn, not how they can learn it. There is no time to explain to 30 people or even 20. People are individuals and everyone has different problems in school. There is simply no time for everyone kid. So we have standardized bullshit. If you want to learn leave school and use the internet. Self motivated learning is the best anyway.

MC Mark Markson First off, I was using IQ as a joke because most teachers nowadays are worthless pieces of shit. Secondly, learning by yourself isn't the best way to learn, that's been proven wrong on multiple occasions. And it's not impossible for good teachers to teach 20 kids the shit they need to know to pass the class ( granted, I agree smaller classes are by far better than bigger, and I'd be all for a limit on how many are in a class, like 20 ), it's just when you get little shits or bad teachers when problems arise. The problem ( which I could go very much into depth about all the problems about America's "education" system, but I'm not unless you want me to ) is that everyone is assbackwards on their "solution" to the problem.

The way he says "nearly broke the earth" is just spot on for what actually happened. They almost did break the damn planet.

As great as this segment is, it doesn't even touch on the problems with the current education testing system that actually led to teachers cheating. Tying students test scores with teacher wages and job security, does not work, it has never worked, and it will never work. There will always be kids who know the standardized tests don't affect anything for them, and fill out the bubbles randomly, or try to make designs, etc. Hell half my class used to do it in middle school, tying a teachers livelihood to that is cruel.

Wealth = privilege. The word privilege itself is very pertinent here: privi like privy, as in private; and lege like legislation or legal, as in law. Privi lege means private law. That is what we can say that we mean when we talk about privilege, someone who is different from the rest of us before the law. As we can see from this video the banksters have a privi lege over the teachers, they are different before the law. Lying and cheating and racketeering will put a teacher behind bars but not a bankster because of the privilege, the private law, that is afforded to those who make a lot of money. Now how is that right?

Loved this piece from Jon the most!! Please Jon Stewart come back to daily show..

So this immediately reminded me of Season 4 of The Wire where Black-majority schools in Baltimore had to give kids the answers to the standardized tests so that the school would keep receiving money. I imagine Atlanta's case wasn't much different. A system that forces schools to do that instead of incentivizing them is clearly wrong, not even needing to mention the subprime fraud.

The major difference is that if test scores aren't high enough the ENTIRE district can lose funding, be subject to governmental punishments, etc. Saying that teachers did is simply because they wanted a bigger paycheck (which, who doesn't?) is to simplistic. Surprised Jon didn't point this out.

Great point. Get em Jon Stewart

the financial collaps in 2008 was crazy! i would have never thought that even we as factory workers in germany would feel the shockwave.

Its terrible the teachers did that, but more so is it terrible that through the incompetence of the government for not only stripping the educational system of funds but also enforcing insane goals to reach.

I worked for an honest mortgage company in the 1990s, and it was tough - because there were competitors who would inflate appraisals and lie about the clients to get a loan made, and we would not. Also, we would not lend more than 100% of appraised value and rarely more than 80%, but our competitors would loan up to 120% of a fake appraisal. We looked like the bad guys very often, because our competitors would loan maybe $50,000 while we could only loan $5,000 or $10,000, or nothing. That is because we might get a potential customer with a $60,000 loan on a $70,000 house and at best, we could loan against the $10,000 equity, but a competitor might falsely appraise the place at $100,000 and loan up to 120% of that making $60,000 possible. And the customer (being a bit dumb) did not know who to trust, but they wanted the money.

Wealth is the greatest superpower

And those educators who were forced to do that at in jail! But not Wall Street !!!

To put this into greater context the teaching incentive system was proven to not only led to ethical issues, especially teaching and financial gymnastics, it also led to teacher refusing to teaching normally when admin/appraisers showed up, refuse to share lesson plans with up-and-coming teachers, let alone new teachers, and this was in the 90's. That state chose to keep that system for a reason.

What do people mean when they say "Wall Street"? Because, in reality, the traders on the floor who dealt in CMOs (collateralized mortgage obligations) which consist of a large number of mortgages grouped together and securitized to be sold to investors who are looking for a stream of income based on mortgage payments, are not the ones to blame. The companies who bought the risky "sub-prime" mortgage CMOs were taking a risk, much like investors who trade in below investment grade bonds or distressed debt. Were they doing something illegal or unethical? No, just risky. It wouldn't have occurred to them that a substantial portion of the mortgages underlying these obligations would be defaulted on, mainly due to unethical and illegal lending practices. So, it boils down to mortgage brokers, lenders and their associated companies. Call a spade a spade and blame the mortgage lenders, not "Wall Street".
