[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe the experiment with hiring these Ivy Teach for America types should be declared over.  They will just leave anyway, and go off to work for a nonprofit or quit when they marry a banker.  What's so great about "gentrifying" DCPS teachers anyway?  It used to be that DCPS staff were of D.C. They were from the D.C community and they understood D.C.  And they were happy to have a career and lifetime career with  DCPS.  [/quote]

You mean back when pretty much every school and student was failing? And graduation rates were abysmal?[/quote]

No! thats so unfair. D.C. was different than it is not. The generation that were kids are now adults with kids. We all know that you need "Experienced teachers" in the lower performing schools. Think of it like this "Rookie doctors are not doing major life and death surgeries from day 1" This teach for america is though do this all the time Yet, we wonder why some school struggle DCPS and charters included. Teach for america is not bad. However, put the rookie teachers in good schools so when they have to go to low petforming schools they have a chance  [/quote]

Or send them to Oklahoma were they need teachers, there is not a teacher shortage in DC we are the highest paying district so we should not be hiring TFA. Rookie trained qualified teachers yet, because everyone has to start somewhere but need to support them and most importantly keep the good teachers we have and not try and drive them away. [/quote]
