[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's harder work to try to meet the needs of every student than to teach to the group and let them sort themselves out. And some of the things that make a teacher's job "harder" also make a student's (aka your kid's) job harder. Maybe you think that's character-building. In many cases, I think it's just distracting. It's harder to teach when you're sleep-deprived. It's harder to teach when you don't have good curricular materials. It's harder to teach when your classroom is stiflingly hot. So is the best teacher the one who pulled the all-nighter, who has a shortage of textbooks, and no A/C? [/quote] Again, I want the good conditions for the teacher, but I want the teachers who can handle the tough conditions. I am thinking of one teacher who told me much of the above was the reason she left public schools, but she is still not an outstanding teacher. [/quote]
