[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a veteran teacher and there is no way I would encourage most people to go into teaching. It is an overwhelming job and   I have many ideas about why, but mostly, the teacher prep programs need to increase classroom time before graduation, and they should have new teachers serve as aides for a year before getting a classroom. It’s really a national crisis. [/quote]

I think they should substitute teach for a year, as you build more classroom management skills.

I am in the Midwest, too.  I am in a state that has over 20,000 certified teachers who are not teaching in public or private schools.   My experience is that administration is hiring poor idiots, as most administrators could not make in the classroom and can't find a job outside of education, if they tried.  Once you bring in TFA teachers and alternative certified who have NO business in the classroom, good teachers see the grass is green elsewhere and leave.   Or, administration pushes out good teachers to collapse the school so higher-ups can sell the building to a charter school.   It's happening in the city, I reside in now.

I am certified teacher, who would not mind teaching in a classroom, but I keep getting beat out by 22-years old or older people who don't want to stay in the classroom. [/quote]
