[quote=Anonymous]Dear PP,

I am ppp, and I wholeheartedly agree with you. I completely agree that teachers should have years of training and carefully supervised classroom experiences.

The curriculum should respect students abilities and manage a classroom where each child excels together, rather than grouping everyone into "abilities'.

Teachers should be well payed, with excellent opportunities to grow. They should get more respect in the process, and have some opportunities to avoid burn-outs by trying multiple positions, sabaticals, stints in the corporate world.

Children should have a right to be taught by teachers of both sexes. They should see that the business of learning is serious enough to take priority over some corporate job. And frankly, some kids simply do better with a variety of teaching styles.

But that is not what happens. The biggest 2 draws to the profession remain a love of children and a family friendly schedule. The resumes you get reflect that fact, for better or for worse.

I wish the corporate world worked on a family friendly schedule, I wish that the teachers benefited from a professional reputation equal to any corporate job.

I'd love to change the world. But don't put down my own experience when I'm simply investigate what it would take to change a career.

How do we go about it?[/quote]
