All of this talk about education has sparked a few ideas in my head about what can change education for the better. We all know that the teacher plays a huge part in the learning experience and even life of a student, but how do we make sure the kids have the right ones? While watching the interview from my previous post I had a pretty outlandish idea but hey it might just work.
What if districts and school boards were to hold annual teacher drafts? I don't mean like any regular person off the street I mean a draft resembling the huge media attention stealers like the NFL, NBA & MLB holds every year for their players. If you ask me teachers make more of an impact on our world than athletes and if the media loves it so will the people. The reason why athletes, coaches, and managers of these teams make so much money is because the media shows them attention, people know about them. I admit it sounds a little unlikely but the craziest things sometimes turn out to be the best for us, it's proven by history. We did kind of take on the strongest world empire of the time to fight for our independence, and even a man that influenced a revolution like Thomas Paine was once considered a radical. But I'm not saying I'm a radical that's going to change the world, but I do have some street sense and anybody with sense knows that the media does have some control over America.
