Let's Keep Kids Stupid Dept., cont'd
Here are some more high school bureaucrats (this time back east) who deserve unemployment. They join a growing list of numbskulls who make decisions about young people these days.

Public Schools nowadays exist only to benefit teachers and administrators, not students. Here in The Dalles the local high school offers a robotics class. That's fine except for the fact that the teacher knows nothing about robotics...and he's the first one to admit that. He's a wood shop teacher (and a good one, at that) babysitting that class for a term.
This teacher has asked me to teach electronics in his class so the kids would get at least some knowlege about robotics. This is not a knock on the teacher. In fact this teacher should get a medal because he at least cares enough to try and educate the students in the subject matter. Most teachers just care about getting a paycheck and that's it.
I have taught electronics at that school at least 20 times over the years and, even though the school district could easily give me a temporary contract to teach that subject they will not. They have a class of kids and a teacher they are legally obligated to provide with a job and it doesn't matter whether anybody gets educated.
Such scenarios are pretty typical for the public school system. And we wonder why our kids can't compete in the workplace.
