[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I look forward to seeing the numbers on how many of these hires make it until June. Being a first year teacher is tough even when you have taken classes and done student teaching and a huge percentage leave within the first 3 years. The positions many of these people are going into are at poorly managed schools or schools with a large number of new teachers with few veterans to mentor them. While people poke fun of education classes, they provide a framework to think through how to handle various classroom scenarios, educational psychology background, and intensive mentoring through student teaching. <b>I cannot imagine being hired to teach physics because of my biology bachelors degree, which it sounds like might happen because the requirements seem to be any bachelors degree. And being hired to do so a week before school starts with no training…</b>they won’t even get Great Beginnings, the new teacher induction program, because that was this week! [/quote]

Untrained teachers hired to teach what they don’t know. [/quote]
