That’s fine, keep ‘em closed, but stop spending our tax dollars on them. Why should we have paid teachers for not working? Give us that money to find a decent private school, or pay for homeschool expenses.

not to burst in on your fantasy here, but who exactly is teaching at all these private schools when public schools close? (Mind you private schools pay teachers way less than public)

Private schools were able to find teachers. Yes, they pay less, but the work conditions are much, much better.

Do they even require teacher certification?

No, they aren’t limited to a pool of candidates that have been brainwashed by Lucy Calkins?

A teacher certification is fine, but there are people that are experts in their fields with a passion for teaching that don’t have a certification in teaching. It’s not the rigorous training that you’re implying.

And there are people who are NOT experts in their field and do NOT have a certificate in teaching...and still do teach at private schools.

Yeah, maybe the crappy ones. I can assure you that anyone falling into that category wouldn’t be hired (or stay long) at a quality private school.

Meanwhile, the public schools will hire anyone meeting the bare minimum requirements. A bachelors in education is one of the easiest college degrees to get. Hell, a masters isn’t even difficult.

The only teachers who only have a BA in Education are K-5. Teachers who teach upper grades are required to have a degree in a content area.

I don't think that's true. I teach secondary and there are a few teachers whom I know don't have Master's degrees.

That’s not true. High schools are also hiring anyone with the bare minimum who will take the job now.

Subs at private schools are paid more. I just got an indeed alert for $18-$25/hr for a charter school in DC.

[Anonymous]

Oh no, private schools are so terrible that I went to private school every year other than kindergarten and got into a top 15 college. My science teachers all had PhDs in high school.

[Anonymous]

When I worked part time at a local private, I was paid $18 an hour. Problem kids had to leave the school. I'm not accepting a job for less pay at a school that's not able to do anything about disruptive or violent children.

It doesn’t have to be a masters, it can be a minor/endorsement/certificate for secondary school. In my home state you couldn’t major in education at all, it didn’t exist as a major.

Local privates are also struggling to find quality teachers. They have fewer requirements than public...

One of my kids has a teacher who is new to teaching with practically no experience or qualifications. She actually seems OK so far, but when I first heard her background I was shocked that she was hired.

Read this again. It doesn't say they have a Master's. It says that they cannot only have a BA in education...they need to have a BA or BS in a content area.

I don’t think you understand how little a Teacher’s Certification matters…

APE has a bunch of SAHMs who had plenty of time last year to campaign for open schools. Where are they all now? Presumably they have time during the day now that their kids are in school.

I mean, I guess, in theory but I saw how they acted last year. I don't want these people subbing and being around kids!
