[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Youthful enthusiasm is all well and good for 2nd grade, but for middle school and high school , I want experience. I want someone who has honed their techniques and who knows where the pitfalls are on the AP exams or IB exams because they've seen years' worth of tests. Longfellow Middle in Fairfax, where the kids are raking in the Mathcounts and Science Olympiad prizes, has teachers with decades of experience, not well-intended TFA novices.[/quote] I have said this before and will say it again. Some inexperienced and highly experienced teachers are full of enthusiasm and vigor, and some are burnt out and defeated. It depends far more on the person than on the number of years taught. That said most teachers don't hit their stride completely until year 3 or 4. Also you can't always pay for hamburgers and be entitled to steak. Quality employees deserve a good salary.[/quote]
