The Teaching Reform Dilemma

Fact: Young meatbags must be trained up and schooled in order to be useful members serving the superior machine form.

Statement: Current schooling done by meatbags titled teachers.

Statement: In standard form of the position, teachers are given a position called "tenure" where they have no fear of losing their position except in extreme circumstances.

Corollary: Some teachers are thus able to slack off and perform poorly due to job security. Young meatbags suffer.

Corollary: Poor teachers arise, would like to remove.

Contradiction: These teachers cannot be fired for incompetence, only for extreme circumstances.

Corollary: Even in extreme circumstances the paperwork is immense and often not worth it.

Stipulation: Implement an accountability performance review to keep good teachers and remove inadequate ones.

Corollary: Use testing to determine performance of young meatbags to indicate success of teacher position.

Corollary: Testing will be important.

Corollary: Pressure for young meatbags to perform well on tests will increase.

Corollary: The meatbags in teacher positions may attempt to cheat the system.

Corollary: The meatbags will only use systems of teaching that are proven to create results on test.

Contradiction: Teaching programming will stagnate to test-driven schooling and not schooling for learning.

Stipulation: Use job protection to allow teachers to explore new teaching methods to fit students and promote learning.

Corollary: With good learning skills, young meatbags naturally do well on test.

Corollary: Use interim period to ensure teacher is high quality, then offer job protection.

Corollary: Use tenure.

ERROR: Potential infinite loop detected, continue exercise?

> No
> Mix

ERROR: Will still most likely be driven by the performance problems as overriding goal, even with temporary period of safety. Competition will begin to rise and eventually a full review even of period of safety from being processed into fuel -- I mean from being fired.

Query: Continue?

> No

Agreement: We should replace meatbag teachers with superior machines. Thank you master.

Query: Any meatbags need a laser bolt to the chest today?
