TTSR “Good” Teachers

What is considered to be a good teacher today is not what it was over forty years ago, mainly because it is not about how educated students are, but rather, how teachers represent the most recent beliefs of the teachers union; after all, teachers are awarding teachers.

There is also what seems to be an ongoing popularity contest between teachers that use to be explicitly among students; now many school are trying to give larger rooms to accommodate classes that have an overwhelming amount of students because they like that particular teacher whereas on the flip side, there are teachers in the same school that student scorn and avoid because they live up to the name “Teacher”.

In one particular case of this, Thomas Sowell recorded that the popular teacher’s class could not score as high as a ‘B’ on the actual subject matter while an ‘unpopular’ teacher’s class was almost all ‘B’s or higher, revealing that it was not the teachers ability to teach that made him “Good” but the students wanting to get by easy.

Matthew 7:16  “You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles?”

Psalm 128:2  “You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you.”
