Are all Education majors lazy idiots?

Yes, yes, yes. And that is part of the ART of teaching. (The current trend, which is at least 15 years old--as long as I've been teaching--is to consider teaching a science, something measurable.)

The teacher who has been around a while and who is sensitive to the student does exactly what you describe. Right now I see a lot of teachers moving away from that because of the abundance of other stresses involved in teaching and because of the necessity of teaching to various tests.

I think that not all people are the same, there are guys and really clever people, I'm not a poor man for example, but I'm writing an essay well, here's one of it https://oceanessay.com/pay-for-essay/, I think many will like it.

Oh yes the annual summertime bash teachers thread

When I got my Social Studies Education degree in NY I spent 10-12 hours a day, 7 days a week either reading or in class discussing the reading.

I wasn't lazy then and I'm not lazy now.

He called you an idiot. Lazy is the adjective so he threw that in more for emphasis than anything. What was your ACT or SAT score? Betting it wasn’t in the upper 1% or you wouldn’t have had to do that much work. Teachers have lower scores on average than students who enter a stem field.

I was an education major as an undergrad. I wasn't lazy, but was bored to tears, which is why I switched gears in graduate school. Most education majors I knew also weren't lazy, however I did note that a lot didn't really have the aptitude for STEM, or other like fields of study. Most also just really wanted to teach. There are a lot of perks to teaching in the public (or private) schools. Or in a college or university environment. Buddy of mine retired at age 60 as a public school teacher, nice pension. Wife did the same. He subsequently got his RN, now is a psych nurse. Two nice pensions PLUS a nice salary with benefits. House and cars paid off in full, no significant expenses. And summers off for both of them every year while they were teachers. Seems to me he's the smart one, not me with my fancy degree and still working like a dog.

Actually, physics was a breeze. Went to the labs, not the classes, did the homework, took the tests. Aced it.

I was excited, last May, to to learn my niece was graduating with honors obtaining a degree in education. I travelled a few hours to attend the ceremony. To my great surprise, the vast majority of education graduates also graduated with honors. I had wondered since then if that graduation class had an exceptionally smart set of students. Or, if the degree is a bit watered down at that university.

Always cracks me up to see posts from years ago bumped by spammers and then have real posters jump into the conversation like it's currently ongoing.

I assent you are not AI so it is now ongoing.

Teachers are dumb.

Teachers want salaries to increase. If salaries were higher, smarter people would enter the field and push out the dumber candidates so the people who are complaining would never have been hired if salaries had been higher.
