Thanks for the idea.  Students have not been engaged. I’ll try anything at this point! [/quote]

Yay, more MTV in school. [/quote]

If your students aren’t engaged, that is YOUR fault, and no music video will help that.

Dear lord, we need a complete overhaul of our system - starting with making schools of education more rigorous and difficult to get into. “The quality of an education system can only be as good as the quality of its educators.”  How about we stop letting just anyone become a teacher. Yikes.[/quote]

Feel free to become one. The kids would run you out within days but you seem to believe you have all the answers. Come on, join us and show us how you’ll get kids to learn by boring them to death.  [/quote]

We do “momschool” at home throughout the year. It’s amazing how engaged they are.[/quote]

Uh they when are you trolling the public school board. [/quote]

Because my kids are in public school?[/quote]

Oh. So “mom school” isn’t a thing then. That’s called parenting. [/quote]

Really? Hours of tutoring every week throughout the year? Not just helping with homework. Additional teaching of different subjects so my kids don’t fall behind. It’s a public school/homeschool combo. You really aren’t very smart, are you?[/quote]

That’s parenting. [/quote]

I don’t do this with my kids (nor anyone else that I know). Unless she is doing homework help, I don’t consider that parenting. I’m starting to wonder if I should homeschool my kids now. The responses from teachers on this thread (and others) make me realize that our standards for who can become an educator are really, really low.[/quote]

Go right ahead! [/quote]

Clever response!

I’m not really concerned about my kids. We will figure it out one way or another. I’m concerned for the families that don’t have the time or money to supplement (heavily) at home. (You - childless teacher - may call that “parenting,” and you’re a fool.)

I can see a lot of people posting on these boards, and I truly think some change may come from this. Our teachers clearly need to be retrained - WHAT to teach and HOW to teach it. They simply aren’t bright enough to figure these things out on their own. (And yes, I understand that you are already told
WHAT to teach, but the fact that you go along with terrible curricula without question is disturbing.) Our kids deserve QUALITY educators, not just anyone that can graduate from an unknown university with a 2.5 GPA. While we are at it, let’s actually make the Praxis challenging. That test is a joke.[/quote]

Thank you for this suggestion. Please write to the school board with an outline of your suggested professional development. They will add it right away. [/quote]
