The school I am student teaching at is phenomenal. Why? I believe it is because the teachers and staff are well paid, we have enough resources, and are given enough time during the day to to our job. We also are not restricted- unlike the teachers in the Old Soviet Union or the current United States- to teaching to standardized knowledges. Nor are we put in a postition where we have to follow a script like in some bizarre post-apocalyptic science fiction drama (California, I'm looking at you!). We are allowed to practice the art of social creation and recreation as we see fit. Yes, we have restrictions- but they are restrictions of good sense. The freedom to teach is not given here...it is earned through the hard work and cross-curricular diligence of the faculty. How is this all affordable?
According to rough estimates I have made, it costs parents about USD $28,000 per year to send one kid here. I am very aware that this is more than some colleges cost. But here is the thing- with the USA crapping away a trillion or so dollars away on this war, we could stop the war and fund the future.
