[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK PPs.  Surely you know that a teaching career is not a desired profession, right?  If you want the best and the brightest to pursue teaching, then we need to overhaul the salary/prestige/respect/etc. given to teachers these days.  We equate teachers with lower tier professionals, certainly not doctors, lawyers, scientists.  Our bright young minds are being encouraged to pursue careers other than teaching.  Sure, sure, sure, of course there are exceptions to this rule, but on the whole...[/quote]

Read this post, PPs.  Are your children bright and driven?  Are you encouraging them to pursue a career in teaching?[/quote]

Not in our current system. Everyone knows it is a joke.

There are other fields that are relatively low-pay, yet still desirable. Why is this? Because they are competitive to get into - and require a good brain!

You can’t accept everyone that applies and wonder why people don’t consider it prestigious.[/quote]

You just proved my point!  So stop complaining about the teachers.  The situation is not going to change unless our society decides to make teaching a more desirable profession.[/quote]

No dear, I didn’t prove your point. Look at the posts above.

It’s clearly a desired profession by many - look how many teachers we churn out each year. The problem is, it is desired by underachievers that didn’t have a high enough GPA to do something else.

So no, we need it to become SELECTIVE. Which will, admittedly, make it more desirable for high-achieving students![/quote]

Sigh.  I clearly meant desirable for our high-achieving students.  (I didn't think I would have to spell that out for you.)[/quote]

Your logic is anything but clear. That’s part of the problem. Go back to your T Swift.[/quote]

Goodness.  Now I am beginning to doubt YOUR intelligence.  Have fun ranting and raving on DCUM.  I have to check out and get back to reality now.[/quote]

Im not that poster, but his/her thoughts make a lot of sense to me. Why do we let just anyone become a teacher?[/quote]
