[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it would be very bad if experienced teachers didn't support those who became licensed through non-traditional paths. I don't know why they wouldn't do that? Spite? [/quote]

I am not a teacher, but it's hard to imagine that if someone showed up at my place of employment and made it clear that they thought they could do my job despite not having my training, I would not be rearranging my day to take on extra work to teach them what they need to know. That's not spite, that's simply budgeting my time to make sure I'm fulfilling my responsibilities.

Did you ever see "Broadcast News?" There's a scene in which unqualified pretty boy William Hurt (hey, it's fiction) asks Holly Hunter to teach him how to do his job, and she explains that it isn't her job to teach him how to do his.

I can't think of a teacher who would refuse to help a younger (or older) colleague who was in earnest about being a professional teacher. Everyone needs some mentorship. But that's not what's happening with any of these Randos in the Classroom programs.
