k-12 its baby sitting. College and beyond its playing god because you impact the journey to a degree
Heh, journey. Naa, you're right, k-12 is babysitting, but there are some courses (especially labs) where it is more like babysitting then actually teaching. Whenever I've taught freshmen, they're a pain in the ass. They still act like this is high school. The rest is just depressing, especially liberal arts/teaching majors. Whenever you get those majors, the ones who you're surprised they were able to graduate from 8th grade, you pray for the thousands of kids that they'll teach over the course of their careers.
Then again, the fact that you do a physics problem about energy use and claim it costs $5 billion in electricity to run a tv for a year doesn't exactly exclude someone from teaching 8 year olds how to color a map, so maybe it's not such a worry.
