[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]* the teachers in the video are going to be very sad once they start their new jobs and realize that all most all professionals jobs require you to work way beyond your job description! with additional hours non compensated especially when you are new, funding is always an issue and budgets get cut,

* class sizes were often bigger back in the previous decades. I went to Catholic school in the 80s. We had 34 kids per class, 2 classes per grade. Public schools in my fairfax county neighborhood did not have smaller class sizes.

* most teachers I have encountered suffer from a basic lack of understanding of how to use technology at all,or efficiently. They have difficulty use the data input systems, can't figure out how to run reports and on a more basic level many can't figure out their own classroom technology. My kids teacher said over and over that the laptops were "broken" bc they would not turn on. No they weren't broken. I pointed out that the battery was not charged so she needed to use it with the charger. Amazingly they turned on! She was truly amazed and she was really young so not an age thing. The laptops were on a charging cart which I pointed out May or may not get plugged in. The individual chargers were stored on a self on the cart.

- most teachers believe they need a ton of supplies. They don't. Neither do the kids. Reduce supply requests to what is actually used. [/quote]
