Chapter 8

     While reading this chapter it made me think back to the video we watched in class about the man who was interviewing the farmers." What the mohair farmers have going for them is that they can get large payments from the government without taxpayers every really noticing" (176). What I can remember from the video in class was that the interviewer was asking the farmers if they deserved the tax money they were getting and the farmers thought they should get that money no matter what. They got the money just for being farmers.
      For me as a student I want the most well trained and the best teachers. The study on page 182 was very interesting to me. I went to public school up till fifth grade and then I came to Minnehaha. There is a very big difference in the teaching of public schools and private. I think that all teachers no matter if you are a teacher right now or becoming a teacher should all have to go through the same thing. If the government decides to make becoming a teacher harder and make them take more tests they should make the teachers already in the schools do the same. As a student I believe that we should have the most well trained teachers we can.
