[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They need to get rid of teacher certification. Hire anyone with a college degree (after interview and teacher demo)[/quote]
That isn’t going to happen. What about all the parents screaming that their children’s educations are being sacrificed? They don’t actually care and just want babysitting [/quote]

Teaching is not as easy as you might think.  I know plenty of Ivy League grads who did TFA and got their butts kicked in the classroom.  It’s not just about being smart or knowing the content.  There is classroom management, interactions with students, parents, lesson planning, etc.

These threads are starting to make me think there should be a compulsory teach for a week for all college grads.  So they can see how difficult it is.[/quote]

The classroom management part is by far the hardest component. And if you don't get that down, you're not teaching anything at all. Your entire time in the classroom is spent trying to control the room. If parents (who are genuinely interested in their kid's education) saw classrooms like this they'd pull their child immediately.[/quote]
I see a lot of parents on here complaining about how they can’t engage or control their own child, but still bashing teachers who manage to do so with thirty of them every day. Truly boggles the mind. [/quote]
