@MarkDAlpert@FixingEducation This is because our education system has proven that it doesn’t deserve our best and brightest. Other countries begin recruiting their best students at a very young age to become teachers and it is a respectable career that pays well. You speak from a limited pool of knowledge.
a conservative christian foundation paid $20 million for those jesus ads and i'm just thinking about all the things jesus would've preferred to spend $20 million on
Professors are not entitled to a student’s time, money, or effort. They have to earn that by adding value to the student’s education. If they can’t provide your plan to add value, then they can’t blame people for being upset. 3/3
That is discouraging for students. Students today are consumers. They pay thousands of dollars to take a course. I didn’t pay for school to be forced into unknown situations. I strive to expand my skill set by taking courses that will challenge my thinking. 1/3
I can gauge a course pretty accurately based on a syllabus. If that course doesn’t meet my standards for the education I am paying for, I won’t take it. This take makes you seem like you don’t respect your students as adults. 2/3
US lawmakers are proposing a national minimum salary for teachers of $60,000 in an effort to address the nationwide teacher shortage and looming "mass exodus" of educators from the profession.
Follow along for some interesting data behind the proposal... 🧵
This trip helped me form the relationships that made me continue to be a part of NKU Econ. It would be a great opportunity for current fellows to have!
This is from my very first outing with NKU Econ during my freshman year! We drove down to the capitol to meet with state representatives about funding for higher ed. and we were able to tour the KY Cabinet for Economic Development!
Past CEE Fellows where is this picture from? What does it mean to you? Is this event something you think current Econ Club members would enjoy? @joxschu@MattFreyKY @BenReynoldsKY
