And the reason very few of the teachers are good at math and science is probably because men have been driven out of the field and women can't teach those subjects. You can't teach what you yourself don't understand.
Not knocking any women who are good at Math/Science. But I ask - if you were really good at Chemistry (for example) AND you're a woman who in this climate would get a preference for being hired based on sex, would you settle for being an elementary/high school teacher? Or would you get a job in the actual field that you love? Be a glorified babysitter or do real research?
And I'll go you one better. Teaching used to be an honored and respected profession. Good students saw teaching as calling and they were held in high esteem. In time, emphasis was placed on the other professions of law, medicine, engineering, technology, etc. not teaching. As a result the average and below average kids whose grades and test scores weren't good enough for these professions became the teachers. So, mediocre students became mediocre teachers and the cycle started again with the next generation. Like making a copy on a bad copier then taking that copy and making another. With each generation the output gets worse and worse bringing us to where we are today.
The best and brightest are not teaching our kids in public schools. Yes, there are exceptions but they are rare and getting more so each year. The school administration are mediocre otherwise they'd be working at better paying, more upwardly mobile jobs. It's a joke. Yet out taxes keep going up and standardized test scores keep going down. It's so bad that common core was introduced. The left loves it. 2+2=5 is acceptable because the kid "tried" to figure it out. This is where the brainwashing and indoctrination starts by useful idiot teachers who were fed a diet of social justice, gender studies, critical race theory, etc. And we wonder why the kids can find jobs?
The entire education system needs dismantled and reimagined by people who are not leftist, Marxist, communist worshippers. We need to dismantle the teacher unions who work only to benefit teachers, not students. The current system is sowing seeds for our own destruction. The sooner we understand and take control of it the better. Otherwise we'll end up on the trash heap of history.
It almost seems planned, doesn't it? Consider a good teacher with a sense of morality being presented with "teach kids that it's okay to be trans!" What do they do? They can try to fight it but will probably find that there are too many others with a vested interest aligned against them. If it bothers them enough, the only way to reconcile it would be to quit - and the system loses another good teacher.
Now that we have the internet, what would it take to have a sort of academy set up? You could have the very best teachers of a subject online to thousands of students at once. Parents paying for the teachers' time and knowledge and the upkeep of whatever hardware the academy needs. Smaller buildings could be purchased for the things that can't be done at home - labs, for instance, for the sciences (though that might not work. I'm just tossing ideas out here). New ideas using new technologies.
