ok. to me, they are abusing the rewards pool, at the very least. Students, from the highest administrative levels, are a number, a means to an end.
My father is a teacher. He is very good at his job. In fact he stands apart in the district as one who continually creates opportunity for building community, and is an exemplary educator.
That being said, the system he works in is completely corrupted, and detrimental to the well beings of the individuals in its care.
I don't think of the system of education in america very different from factory farms. They are both abusive and manipulative, treating living beings as a means to an end, rather than being arranged with the wellbeing of the life in mind First.
I don't know where you are from, but in america this is my position on the subject of so called "education"
