[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because then school would need to find teachers that can teach.   Sure a number of good teachers exist but most of them coming out of school and heading into teaching are just glorified day care professionals.  [/quote]

This is not the issue stop speaking like you're an expert. We have enough "expert" parents. This is a county/state created issue. Do your research. [/quote]

Sorry to have triggered you but what passes for teaching in many, but not all, US school systems is a warm body serving as a guide/proctor for kids using the latest fad software chosen by school administrators looking for a job down the line with an educational services company.  [/quote]

Yup....the good teachers are burnt out. Enjoy the shortage now it's warm body "trainees". Sorry the truth triggers you.[/quote]

Good news - giving teachers a scripted curriculum and having them implement it has been proven to be very effective for kids. So the "trainees" should be able to do just fine. As well as amazing, awesome, star quality teachers? No. Good enough with the right quality, direct instruction curriculum. Yes. See the link a PP posted on the first page to studies done decades ago.

Half the point of direct instruction is that even bad teachers can use it.[/quote]

We have video recording in this century. Why waste money on teachers at all? Just record a good lecturer once and show the video to the students. [/quote]
