[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so pissed. My kid has one of these. I'd rather they just do 30-kid classes than have a fake teacher who has no idea what they're doing and a smaller class size. REALLY pissed.[/quote]

How do you know?? [/quote]

It listed right next to her name in the school directory. "Teacher Resident" 
I googled her. She has a 2021 undergraduate degree in theater. So someone who wanted to be an actress, realized it's impossible, and is now trying to teach without a teaching degree because it was an easy job to get. Can't wait.[/quote]

Personally I'd have pretty good hopes from a theater major---knows how to be interesting/engaging, can adapt and improvise, tends to be aware of social dynamics. Probably has taught theater camps, led theater groups etc.   If the school can provide her good resources and supports, might be a great option.  I'd rather have a theater major investigating teaching as a possibility than a long term sub who doesn't have a degree or a long-term plan.[/quote]
