[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"You want fresh grads without education degrees teaching middle school? 40k is too low to get anyone who actually needs the income (i.e. professional teachers), so you get you unqualified aids being promoted"

Fresh grads aren't the very best option, but the point is casting a wider net and getting a look at more candidates.

In some cases professional teachers with new education degrees who actually need the income would be worse options than UVA graduates in English or Math who don't need to worry about the 15% difference in pay between parochial and public.   Education degrees nowadays mostly train people to be political activists who want to undermine the family.  That's counterproductive training for working at St. Mary's.

A lot of people with new education degrees are very similar to the promoted aides.  They are just a year or two older and not much more impressive.  In many cases you'd be better off with a smart UVA English major teaching a class than a less impressive education degree holder.  Teaching best practices are much more available online these days.  (No offense to any education degree holders.  I'm just saying the degree isn't what it used to be.)

Either way, the diocese needs more people in the interview funnel and then they can pick the best.  [/quote]

So you want dilettantes? UVA grads can do better than making 40k a year teaching middle schoolers. SAHMs are not going to teach middle school, they'll teach ES. You're left with people who don't have better options  [/quote]
