[quote=Anonymous]There are many excellent teachers who do this and it's really more of a calling than just a job. On the other hand, my children had some middle and high school teachers who were really slacking, especially spring semester, when it wasn't uncommon for them to turn their classrooms over to student teachers and disappear. I specifically requested that my son NOT be placed in classes with student teachers for this reason and was refused. These same teachers did not come to parent teacher nights or IEP meetings. The principal said they couldn't require attendance. My mom was a teacher for 30 years and was expected to remain in her classroom, if not in meetings, until 4:15 each day and she did. I think attitudes have really changed, partly as a result of AP and AAP type programs. The most dedicated teachers are assigned to these, full time. The remaining teachers feel slighted and burn out very quickly. [/quote]
