[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's great that schools are ditching certifications. It doesn't seem to me that they do anything other than line the pockets of the mediocre degree mills that issue them. I'd much rather have a teacher with real knowledge, experience, and passion than one trained in pseudoscientific methods by a bunch of people who couldn't cut it as real academics.[/quote] I'm OK with certification AND also with alternative pathways for all the reasons you mention. Let's have more imagination and less lockstep + gatekeeping in teaching. - a teacher[/quote] And let's keep the pay low, respect from parents low, work load high. In fact, let's go back to the prairie schools. Why stop there? There are a lot of shortages in many fields. No educational background required! Google what you need. [/quote] Dramatic much? Schools are hiring temps or contractors without paying benefits or hiring union and the union is making it sound like they are hiring day laborers from a Walmart parking lot. The school system is still setting hiring qualifications and can also fire underperformera S.[/quote] They will all be underperformers, because there will be no mentors, no guides. And no, they won't be fired because they cannot afford to fire anyone. This is a free for all end to what we once knew as education. And, yes, this is literally no different than day laborers. Good luck. [/quote]
