  1. Even with Daniels and Bennett both on their way out, they pull this last minute garbage to continue in their efforts to dismantle education in Indiana. I taught in Indiana high schools for 34 years and have some thoughts on the subject. A truly successful teacher is a rare and precious thing. They have the ability to stimulate students to want to learn, to want to better themselves. They teach those who will become the doctors, dentists, lawyers, engineers and even politicians. We also teach those who will become plumbers, electricians, pipefitters and bricklayers. ALL the children have value which they need to discover in themselves.

    Rather than making it easier for someone to stand in front of a group of students and collect a (usually inadequate) paycheck. We should be making it harder. Our children deserve our BEST efforts not our LEAST efforts. I no more want a person with a bachelor's degree in comparative literature, who took an anatomy class and had a B-average operating on me, than I want someone who never learned how to teach, teaching that future surgeon. Just because someone owns a wrench doesn't make him a plumber. We want him to apprentice himself and learn his craft. We should want at least that much for those who teach our children.
