A lot of people won't believe the overwhelming number of teachers who are democrat, so let's make a comparison.
A recent poll taken of journalists found shocking numbers: 63% of journalists described themselves as Democrats, but that's only the tip of the iceberg.
A whopping 25% described themselves as "Independents", and it is no secret that the great majority of these are actually democrats in disguise who are disgusted with their own party. So, even if you take only half that number, 75% of journalists are really democrats. If all those "Independents" are counted as Democrat, 87% are Democrats. That's probably not far off the mark. Nine out of ten journalists voted for Clinton.
The majority of actors and comediannes are democrats. Hence, it should not be such a shock that teachers are also solidly behind the democrats.
Before Liberals got a hold of the educational system, a high school graduate had practically the same education as many college graduates.
My mother was taught by Benedictine Nuns, in a class of 23 girls. Guess how many were accepted to good universities? Maybe one quarter? Perhaps 8-10? How about, ALL OF THEM.
Was my mother in some statistically off-the-chart group of exceptionally brainy girls? No, not at all. Most were typical, average girls, but the nuns made sure they studied every night, and would not allow them to slack off... ever.
Compare that with the teachers of today. The teachers union gets tenure for terrible teachers that aren't qualified. I'll never forget seeing a demonstration of teachers in Chicago. I snapped a photo of some of their picket signs as a souvenier. Why? They were rife with misspellings.

Nothing. Statistically speaking, this only shows a relationship, not a cause-and-effect.
For example, if I give all students at a school ice cream every week, and at the end of the year they score higher than the students at another school whom I have not given any ice cream to, does that mean that we should start giving ice cream to everyone so that they'll score higher?
In the above example, underlying factors, such as the student's economic status may have played a role.
In this case, could other factors have influenced it? Are democrats more willing to stay on in the teaching profession while, republicans, seeing that schools are getting worse, hurriedly left a decade ago?
If you truly want to find out about the teaching standards teachers who are democrats, you'll have to set up an long-term experiment.

I take it you assume most teachers are democrats because of the teachers unions. Has it ever occurred to you that Republican teachers might also think they deserve a living wage after attending college for four years and getting a teaching degree? Or is teaching frowned upon by Republicans as an honorable profession?
The schools started getting weak when the federal government started mandating how and what was to be taught in the public schools. The "No child left behind act" is a prime example.

Which political party do these types of people usually support?
High school drop outs.
Exconvicts.
Dopeheads.
Welfare abusers.
Illegal aliens.
Third World People.
Naive people under 21.
As for the weak schools, think of three test takers in your class. You and your friend both score a 100%. The other, a moron, scores a 0%. The overall average for the 3 of you is only going to be 66%. All three of you will be considered weak.
That's how it is in America's schools. As long as your kid isn't going to one of the weak schools, you don't have much to worry about, do you?

Too undesirable, yet you're factually incorrect. the ordinary public colleges interior the u . s . a . are below interior reach administration. In areas that are Republican, they're run by ability of the neocons. In areas that are liberal, they're run the US. And, i'm happy to declare, that my liberal state's colleges are rated on the the main suitable option of the heap. fulfillment in coaching is extra often a function of the textile a instructor is given to artwork with. deliver a powerful instructor in suburbia to artwork in an inner city college and directly that instructor will by no ability be as powerful anymore. that's because of the fact there's a huge distinction between the youngsters you detect interior the suburbs and the progeny of crackheads, whores, drug sellers, etc. which you detect interior the internal city. finally, your rant against the unions is primitive. to your advice, the unions are what's liable for the boost of the midsection classification interior the u . s . a . and that's that initiating that has made this u . s . a . super. Your association of failing colleges with union club is the form of simpleton association often made by ability of the neocons. As earlier pronounced, failing colleges are actually not inevitably because of unions - the situation is extra complicated and actual too complicated for the neocons to hold close.

A major reason our public schools are failing is the teachers union. Public schools need a major overhaul. Giving parents the choice of private schools with a voucher for the taxes they are paying for the failing public school should be an option NOW.

That is not true about democrats giving more to the school system. Dems are crippling people by brainwashing them into thinking the welfare system is the answer instead of furthering their education.
I do not f*ck anyone out of their money. I work and pay taxes to support those who don't and won't.
Dems need to wake up because the government is cutting federal funding to those who receive grants and federal funding if they find out they are aiding illegal aliens, and their children to get the message across. This will hurt our children.
You come to Texas and dems think that illegals are entitled to what the American born children are. This mentality is hurting the American children.

Most teachers are Democrats because the Democrats tend to give more money to education.

Democrats dont really give money to schools , they give money to pay for illegal kids that dont speak english . So we can bow to them and spend more tax dollars so an illegal can get an education . Pay tons of money for interpreters.

i believe the reason we switched to democrat teaching is because we were losing to the Soviets technologically, and most scientists are liberal.
edit: why did i have to ask right after guys who call themselves "dump" and "liberals burn flags"? now people won't take me seriously...
