That's not what I meant by boot camp style. I am talking more about the culture and environment. From what I understand it is a meat head locker room environment. I am not saying the thing needs to be like college but perhaps it should be more of an academic learning environment than an U.S. Army boot camp. We can't really be surprised when cops have an urban commando mindset when we use the same training system we train infantry for.
I keep making comparisons between my teacher training and certification and police stuff. It seems like police have built up a system that encourages a certain personality type while also discouraging more thoughtful people. And the results show.
I honestly dread going through the process of becoming a cop especially the the boot camp part. I don't look forward to having to make friends, placate, and get along with pig men. Same reason why I wouldn't want to join a yacht club or motorcycle club or frat. I am not going to put myself into a situation to be bullied or hazed.
But I really want a teacher wife.KEN-JENNINGS wrote:

You have a higher than average likelihood of beating your teacher wife if you become a cop.
Thinking it over...if I become a cop, art teachers are off the table. No hipster/hippy art teacher wants to marry "the man". All they want to do is smoke weed and be strange. And only the art teachers do the things with hair I like and play dress up.RTHKI wrote:

No I don't. I think you are confused. I created the #MeToo thread to promote women's rights and the tranny thread to protect their bathrooms.KEN-JENNINGS wrote:

Do I think we should not have police departments in America? No, I don’t. There’s no city in the world that does not have police departments. What you need are—I didn’t call for more money for police departments. I called for police departments that have well-educated, well-trained, well-paid professionals. And, too often around this country right now, you have police officers who take the job at very low payment, don’t have much education, don’t have much training—and I want to change that. I also called for the transformation of police departments into—understanding that many police departments and cops deal every day with issues of mental illness, deal with issues of addiction, and all kinds of issues which should be dealt with by mental-health professionals or others, and not just by police officers.In that letter to Schumer, you got some pushback from some of your supporters for a proposal to give better resources to police departments. [The letter argued for “ensuring that the resources are available to pay wages that will attract the top tier officers.”] The criticism was that a lot of people in the progressive movement now are calling for defunding or abolishing the police. Do you—
I think we want to redefine what police departments do, give them the support they need to make their jobs better defined. So I do believe that we need well-trained, well-educated, and well-paid professionals in police departments. Anyone who thinks that we should abolish all police departments in America, I don’t agree.
Same argument for someone teaching university maths, all they need is to be able to talk to a powerpoint, photocopy handouts and take roll call.Jay wrote:
If someone is a fourth grade teacher, they teach fourth graders all day. If someone is a 6th grade history teacher, they teach 6th grade history all day, with the same textbook and the same lesson plan, all day. Odds are good they will teach the same subject and the same grade level for the duration of their career. They're not asked to go outside their competency, and no one is asking them their opinion. It requires about the same level of competency as running a mule team. They spend roughly 75-90% of their time trying to overcome stubborn obstinacy and stupidity, and the rest actually getting work done.Larssen wrote:

Agreed. Teaching well has to do with people skills, inherent talent, and passion, but it also requires a student body that is motivated and wants to learn. Some teachers have the genuine ability to make their less willing students care about the subject they are teaching, as passion, in the right environment, is contagious. However, all the teaching talent, advanced degrees, latest techniques, and passion, in the world will fail when faced with the nihilism found in lower income schools.Dilbert_X wrote:

Teaching well isn't a simple thing.
