S.C. deputy filmed slamming teen girl out of desk, dragging her away

How regularly? How many people don't pass? Why do American public school students nonetheless suck?

 

Jesus, you are so in the dark on this subject.

There is a Praxis test you need to pass to have a teaching license. That is pure content knowledge.

Once you have your license you are required to have 180 hours of added training every five years to have your license renewed.

You flunked out or dropped out of ed department at BC. You know all of this.

 

Correct, I would be willing to go through all of that, including a decrease in salary, for the quality of life improvement. But not $40,000. I'd have to sell my house.

 

Which is a total joke and every teacher I know complains about what a joke the "added training" is.

 

Yes, universities report student failures in internships all the time.

 

We're not going to get better parents.

Most pre-K spending is wasted, as another new study shows:



We're not going to get less poverty.

Smaller classrooms don't matter as much as the unions claim they do.

And, it's not "blaming" teachers to say that we should recruit better teachers, and fire poor teachers. It's not blaming teachers to say they should have to prove some ability to actually teach and/or have a proficiency in the subject(s) they are teaching.

 

Two graduate courses are a joke? That's what I did.

 

I don't know that I'd consider this a ringing endorsement of the alleged gauntlet.

 

Still waiting for that percentage from YF.

And for my answer, what is currently in place would be improved by a first year teacher? Maybe 3%.

You need to remember that a large percentage of first year teachers fall flat on their faces.

 

Devil, I hate to be a dick, but the link from NPR I posted deals with this very subject is discussed.

Listen to it.

Most student teaching doesn't teach prospective teachers to teach. And, that's not me saying it's, "the dean of the School of Education at the University of Michigan, and kind of a rock star in the field of teacher education," who is saying it to NPR.

 

I wonder why?

Maybe it's because they aren't prepared! Which is what I've been saying.

As for a percentage, especially if we're counting disciplinary reasons, it's got to be closer to 10%.

 

I spoke to my friend's career prep classes last week - eighth graders through seniors throughout the day - at his invitation. They were shockingly disengaged. Usually there was one kid in every class, maybe two, who was outgoing and would ask a lot of questions.

Among the questions I got, presumably because I'm an educated professional: "Were you a nerd in high school?"
