The Education Wars

Looking at only the excerpt provided on this site, I would say Suze Orman is actually more correct than Ohanian is willing to give her credit.

Teachers DON'T have any self-worth because they are NOT powerful; in fact, they have no rights whatsoever. They allow administrators to get away with murder for they fear retaliation if they speak up. The kids soon realize teachers don't command respect at all, and more than a few of these students have no respect for them, either.

How can teachers get self-respect if they don't report wrongdoing or even lie for their superiors?

Public education is turning into a sewer, and things aren't likely to turn around. Privatizing schools won't work, either, as long as teachers are belittled.
