[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The teachers aren’t well trained either. They present worksheets with incorrect spelling.  They don’t know how to teach phonics.  They are poor in math skills and even poorer in explaining concepts. They don’t understand higher level math and how they should be better supporting it.  They don’t prepare kids adequately for the next grade. They are inexperienced and think that grabbing worksheets off TpT website is a best practice!  I’ve not seen much creativity in the method of teaching in 9+ years. [/quote]

I think this is correct, but I also think there are too many kids in a normal class that are quite literally incapable of learning at grade level and it sidetracks the whole class.  I don’t know which problem came first[/quote]

I went to Harvard and I have also have a Masters degree in my subject.  [b]Not an M. Ed, but a "real" Masters degree[/b].  I understand my subject better than the majority of the parents of my students AND my students' AP exam scores are consistently higher than those of any other teachers' classes at our school.

But it is very clear to me that the majority of parents view me as a sort of unintelligent servant.  This is why I'm moving out of the profession.  You people wonder why there are so many inexperienced young teachers who struggle with subject content?  It's because you make the conditions of the job so miserable that anybody with options gets out.

you mean you have a masters. in a content area, not an MED which is a "real" masters.  are you confusing MAT - also a real degree.
