[quote=Anonymous]I'm an elementary school teacher. You aren't going to get these people into education unless a lot of changes are made first. Here are a few: 1) Pay them what they would be paid if they chose another profession. I'm in year 15 of teaching. I have a Master's plus I don't know how many more credits. My DS just graduated from college last year and already makes more than I do (and he isn't in engineering or CS). 2) Pay for their undergrad degree or highly subsidize it. 3) Get rid of the higher-ups in education who haven't taught for at least 10 yrs prior to moving into admin. Basically, the people making the big decisions need to be a lot more in touch with teaching. 4) Enforce rules with consequences. Make it no-nonsense like my son's former Catholic school. [/quote]
