Hahaha - you go in and do it. Won't last the 1st quarter.

"Paying the current teachers more will NOT solve the problem." - hmm, let's try that out and see how it goes. Who knows, it could maybe work?!

If I decide to go teach tech in a classroom, your kid will be learning practical life skills. They will be learning about how to manage their future lives in an online world by creating scenario where they are married with a couple kids, with end goal being learning how to completely manage balancing their budgets, buying/renting housing, etc. In a more proficient classroom, they will be learning how to design a website and how to use free tools out there to code it, because those tools are now pretty much drag and drop, and lots of fun. Kids can focus on ‘prettying’ up their site. Companies do not usually re-invent the wheel and use these tools, and they are often free to educators. My goal will be to give your kids practical skills that are useful in the real world, using technology as a resource to get there.

Too much teaching these days is of abstract concepts and do not prepare a kid for their future. That’s true of college as well. If you can’t manage your LIFE, you can’t succeed.

SB in a race to the bottom.

It's not the SB, there is a national shortage. If anything blame VDOE wgo set requirements. It's bugger than the SB.

And the very people complaining here are most of the problem. Our teachers and school board members are regularly threatened. The groups who want to kill public schools and scream about liberal agendas are doing this because they want to fund religious schools to force their agenda from the dark ages.

Wait, what? There’s a curriculum?! Where do I get this? (/s)

I’m going into year 13 and have never had more than a bullet point list of standards. Methinks you know not of what you speak.

But I do agree the most you can hope for at this point is a legal adult in every classroom.

There aren’t curriculums online?

You can buy them online - teachers pay teachers.

Why should teachers have to buy anything to do their jobs? Stop letting the school districts be lazy and mooch off of teachers who care about students!

So someone with, say, a MS is not qualified to teach your kid in their subject field? Or are you concerned they might upend some school agenda with facts?

The only requirement is a college degree. Nothing Else. MS degree and provisional license or career switch level 1 program teachers get paid higher. Unlikely that qualified teachers will apply for a new resident job paying 48K.

My ES kids have learned how to design websites, do powerpoint presentations etc. in their 1x a week computer class. There are tons of voc ed tech classes at MS and HS. You just don't know what is actually going on in schools.

Then why don't these kids succeed at life? Instead, they are chasing 'the best colleges' and taking classes in gender studies. My kids were in the publics and there were no classes that taught them anything practical. I pulled them to privates.

First off… how do you quantify success? Anyone with a job? Literally every kid knows how to make a presentation, a Google Site, etc by the time they leave 6th grade. All of these kids won’t be successful?

LMAO if YOU decide to go teach, you’ll be in tears within 2 weeks when the kids roast your shoes, circulate a video of you yelling at a kid on social media or tell you to f*ck off. Y’all who think you have all the answers always break early and often.

Adulting, not living with mom and dad and whining about how they can’t get a job in woman’s studies. What you describe is simplistic, but I’m not surprised that’s all you think high school graduates should know.

Okay, but your example was tech oriented. Obviously we want kids to learn other skills. Secondly, some kids move back home to save money because COL is too high and they want to save some money. I would say the majority of graduating seniors are not living with their parents beyond 25. I lived with my parents when I went to grad school, then moved out on my own. I am in my 30’s and don’t know anyone living with their parents. This is not a school issue. This is a society/parent issue.
