[quote=Anonymous]The way to get more top-notch people into teaching (along with the pay, which I agree is a pie-in-the-sky idea--that money will need to come from somewhere and it will take more than changing an ed. degree program to get people behind that) is to GIVE TEACHERS RESPECT for knowing their profession. Teachers leave because not only is there low pay, there is zero respect for their professional knowledge and experience. The trend has been to micromanage what goes on the classroom--much of this is coming from legislators, most of whom have zero experience teaching. We don't tell doctors or lawyers what they need to do in every situation--there are broad guidelines that they can work within to make decisions that are appropriate for that particular situation. We trust them, but not teachers. Get out of the way and let teachers teach! That will go a long way. (And if you can get more money headed their way, that will help too)[/quote]
