The Future of Education Belongs to Discipline

Your humble servant here agrees and disagrees with you. Yes, we ought not to expect the same outcomes for all students. If they cannot do math, they can take options like woodworking. However, once they are in woodworking or math this writer sees no reason to relax standards period. Above all, a teacher has the right to expect each and every student to treat him or her with respect - at all times - as they would their boss on the job. One of the reasons we are losing competitive advantage is simple lack of discipline. We do not need more money to fix education. We need discipline, which means this is what we do here and what we expect; if you do not like it, there is the door.
