[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If districts want more minority teachers, they aren’t going to get them if they continue with unpaid internships. I’m not low income but it was touch and go for a few months during my student teaching year. I definitely had to play some checkbook roulette that year. The same was true my first 5-7 years of teaching. If my father hadn’t died and left me $20k, I would’ve been hitting up the food kitchens. [/quote]

Teaching is a low return on investment degree. Honestly they need to partner with community colleges to make teaching a four year program at each community college. Make a teaching degree as cheap as possible. [/quote]

I think that would attract less qualified people.[/quote]

Why? Here is what I think should happen. If you are smart and good grades, they should have free college tuition if you get a teaching degree and commit to teaching for a certain number of years (if you don't you have to pay it back).[/quote]
