[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a nationwide issue. Paying the current teachers more will NOT solve the problem. Rooms will still be without teachers. I say, bring the warm bodies and then train them. At this point, we just need bodies. Let’s be honest, it’s not difficult to teach.[b] You are given a curriculum which is a guide book. Plus, everything is available to you online.[/b] [/quote]

Wait, what? There’s a curriculum?! Where do I get this? (/s)

I’m going into year 13 and have never had more than a bullet point list of standards. Methinks you know not of what you speak.

But I do agree the most you can hope for at this point is a legal adult in every classroom.[/quote]

Exactly. The “curriculum” in this case would probably be assignments that are created by other teachers on the team that said team has had to coach the teacher through. And then will be graded by said team when the teacher either leaves or gets overwhelmed when they realize that they have no idea how to grade against the standard. And thus accelerates the burn out cycle of the experienced teacher. What has to give here is all of the extras that have been placed on teachers since the early 2000s. Let teachers teach and collaborate in an organic way, trust that they went to school to do this,’and let them do their jobs with relative autonomy. The alternative is this…hiring people with zero background in teaching and insane teacher turnover rates. [/quote]
