| The State of Virginia is known for having a very great | | | | not back up the teachers when a parent complains |
| public school system, however the teachers union is | | | | about discipline in the classroom for their child. If the |
| admitting that the attrition rate is nearly 50% in three | | | | child is breaking the rules the teacher must provide |
| years. In other words when a new teacher comes to | | | | discipline otherwise it hurts the learning ability of the |
| teach in the State of Virginia public school system | | | | other students. |
| there is a 50% chance that they will be gone before | | | | Apparently this issue is happening all over the country |
| the end of three years. But why are the teachers | | | | and in the State of Virginia it is happening to. Some |
| quitting? The answer will probably not shocked you but | | | | teachers complain that certain male-dominated |
| it is of great concern to those residents living in Virginia. | | | | societies and cultures send their kids to the Virginia |
| Many of the teachers after they get their teaching | | | | public school system and their male students harassed |
| credentials join the public school system to make a | | | | the teacher because she is female. You can |
| difference and then they find out that they are merely | | | | understand the problems with this. Likewise as a |
| glorified babysitters. This is quite unfortunate because | | | | society we need to teachers to enforce discipline on |
| these young individuals have come to teach and they | | | | the students so that they can learn right and wrong |
| care, but they are not allowed to discipline in the | | | | and what is acceptable in our civilization. |
| classroom and without discipline there can be no | | | | If the Virginia public school system and the parents of |
| meaningful teaching. | | | | these little monsters cannot come together then |
| Our society and civilization needs to trust our teachers | | | | everyone loses. Teachers will have less tenure and |
| and give them the benefit of the doubt over a student | | | | experience, the classrooms will be bigger and the kids |
| who is messing around the classroom day in and day | | | | will learn less. Is that what we want? We need to |
| out. Many of the school systems have strong | | | | support our teachers in the public school system in all |
