[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The public schools are just absolutely falling apart. The social breakdown of these areas absolutely dictates the necessity of private schools. [/quote]

teachers going out on maternity leave happens at the privates just as much. Happened to DC in English class two years in a row.[/quote]

Yep, irresponsible, unprofessional teachers can be found anywhere.[/quote]

Oh, stop. Taking time off to care for your children is not at all irresponsible.

One of the issues, however is that schools do not value veteran teachers in the way that they used to. They believe newer younger teachers will be some type of magic bullet. The more young teachers, the more likely maternity leave, career-switching, school transfers, etc are. They come and go. Veteran lifelong educators are not going to get pregnant and are unlikely to leave the field within five years.

That is not to say that schools should not hire new or young teachers. NOT AT ALL. The problem is that when you look around most schools the majority of the teachers are young (and white). The MAJORITY of the teachers in your building having less than 5 years of teaching experience is a problem. [/quote]
