[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you trust a surgeon with no training to operate on their own? That’s what a teacher trainee is doing. He or she is teaching in a classroom alone with no training. He or she is expected to perform the work of a teacher without training. Why should we expect a teacher in this position to do as well as traditionally train teachers?[/quote]

If all the surgeons quit because they were being paid like teachers, we might have to trust a carpenter to put us out of our pain!

This analogy is so lame and overused by people who have no clue what a teacher's day to day is like for what they get paid, plus the bonus of insults from the broader community who don't actually get in the weeds to help.

Instead, go to your nearest school and volunteer as a monitor - give a teacher a break to use the restroom or eat their sandwich for lunch.[/quote]

Teachers generally don’t want parents helping out as they are nosy and spies.[/quote]

Perhaps because only the nosy spies volunteer! Teachers welcome supportive parents, not nosy spies. Try a full day of dealing with an energetic classroom of 20-30 students and then care to compliment your child's teacher on "FCPS Cares". Appreciative parents outnumber nosy spies, but the community only hears condescending critiques from the latter.[/quote]
