If you can’t remember the alphabet, your education has failed you big time.

Can elaborate on how the education system is corrupt? I’m a public school teacher and I would like to get in on the grift.

The grift is professional development meetings and standardized testing. It’s a bit silly to suggest it’s all corrupt though.

Yeah, we could do with less PD and Pearson certainly doesn’t need all of our money, especially in a budget deficit year.

Part of the problem is most teachers don’t have an higher education and a lot don’t even have an education degree. They aren’t taught proper pedagogy, they’re just taught to present materials and monitor standardized tests.
From their point of view, they’re doing what they’ve been told is heroic work from underappreciated and underpaid public servants, which is true; but they miss the part where the curriculum they’ve been handed down doesn’t serve the students in learning how to think and solve challenging problems in life, instead leading them down a specific specialization route to be a good little office drones.
We’ve failed teachers as much as students, and there aren’t enough education colleges preparing quality teachers and too many schools hiring unqualified people as teachers.

It sounds like your beef with post-secondary education.

This is what they’re hoping you’ll say, “huh? I couldn’t do that even if I WAS sober!”
