[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone here actually gotten a teaching job through this program?[/quote]

One of the SAHMs was hired as an IA during COVID now has a full-time teaching job at our school through this program. I’ve never been impressed with her, she’s more interested in gossiping about the kids in the neighborhood and their families, but I guess these are desperate times.[/quote]

That’s what the people crowing about teacher posts being “98% filled” on DCUM don’t understand. These are just woefully incompetent warm bodies. Fine if all you want is a babysitter, I guess. Shrug.[/quote]

I think teachers are really important in society and should be compensated and respected, but -- is it really something other adults can't do? If someone wants to be a teacher, then that is a gift. Most people don't want to teach. But does that mean they CAN'T teach?

I saw someone from the teacher's union (MCPS? Not sure) say, "Would we let just anyone into the cockpit of a plane or do surgery?" I mean, it's not flying a plane or surgery. It's teaching children, which most people have done in their lives anyway.

Again, I admire teachers. They should be respected and compensated well. But I'm sure others can pick it up and teach kids in the classroom, too. And if they stick it out, then they too deserve to be compensated and respected. It's a job most people don't enjoy, not rocket science.[/quote]
