Go to Post As goes with all of my advice on CD, try it yourself and make up your own mind. I'm just suggesting things based on experience. See what works for your team. Follow my suggestions to the letter, mix and match them, or even throw them completely out the window. It's all about you and your team. - DampRobot [more]

It's not so much that bad teachers will teach better if you gave them more money, but if teaching was a better paying job, it could attract a better quality of teacher. I was going to be a teacher; I planned on it my whole life just about (along with writing). And I had teachers every year try to talk me out of it; they said I could do better than teaching, that I could actually be something amazing. Well, I think a good teacher is amazing, and I had a few in my life who changed it in wonderful ways. And I've had bad teachers who did more damage than should be possible. And there were plenty of mediocre teachers in there as well. Our education system does play an important role in our youth. But look to the home front if you want to place blame for the problems of our youth.

I think too many people have kids before they are ready for them, both financially and emotionally. I think too many parents think the school system should be a baby-sitter for their kids. And I think (can you tell I do a lot of thinking?) too many parents want to be "friends" with their kids rather than parents. Kids need boundaries, and it's hard to find a balance between too strict and too lenient, and erring too far on either side can be disastrous.

What are today's youth coming to? I don't know but I think yesterday's youth came to it too. Things like this happened when I was young, and when my parents were young and so on, it's always just a shock to read it in print.

And the last thing I'll say about today's youth is that I think they are pretty great.
