Dan Propp has some opinions about the education system for school teachers. He should know. He spent twenty-three years as a “chalk holder”. Stick would-be educators into a university and don’t let them really teach until they have five years of theory. Towards the end, provide a few short practicums for a bit of public relations window dressing. Charge a fortune for texts (that often change every couple years to improve “marketing”), provide wonderful rubber chicken fast-food cafeterias, all the high-end coffee franchises to improve the perks, and out-of-this-world fees for the privilege working for that degree. And what a useful education degree it becomes! Dan says, “Many teachers are tired being social workers and day care activity providers. Our field is teaching, not field trips.” He has a lot more to say about the education world, and he says it with his characteristic, quirky wit and a lick of biting sarcasm. Be prepared for an overdose of peculiar puns in this book that takes a piercing look at education today.
