The pay is too low. Period. If they significantly raised the pay it would solve their issues. Same with bus drivers.

wow, your teaches must have messed up pretty badly to teach high school with a PhD

Pretty sure working at a top New England boarding school isn't considered a crappy job.

LOL. If you actually attended a "top" NE boarding school you wouldn't be equating it with the crap private schools around here.

1) You sound like an a—hole. 2) I don’t believe you. No one with a PhD is going to teach private school, unless perhaps retired. They make a lot less than public school teachers- and that’s saying a lot.

Some people come from family money and are therefore able to choose jobs they find enjoyable.

Orange theory, South Block, arranging their fall container gardens. Less than $100 a day means nothing to the subset of families. Why on earth would they go substitute?

Someone sounds jealous?

No, b/c I'm one of them, LOL.

I'll consider it. Am I required to be vaccinated?

it means that a new teacher has at least some minimal classroom experience and some training. It's not much, but its more than you get when you hire someone with a BA in history and no experience

It means they were probably mentored by some crappy public school teacher, further perpetuating the cycle of substandard education.

Some people enjoy teaching, but I can see why most people would avoid the crap that comes with public schools (huge classes, lack of support from admin staff, being forced to mainstream students with delays and behavioral issues, etc). A good private school though? Sounds like it could be fun. I’ve even considered it, and I have a doctorate in my field.

What did they think was going to happen with how they treated teachers? So f'in tired of listening to these same Covidiots.

That’s fine, keep ‘em closed, but stop spending our tax dollars on them. Why should we have paid teachers for not working? Give us that money to find a decent private school, or pay for homeschool expenses.

not to burst in on your fantasy here, but who exactly is teaching at all these private schools when public schools close? (Mind you private schools pay teachers way less than public)

Private schools were able to find teachers. Yes, they pay less, but the work conditions are much, much better.

Do they even require teacher certification?

No, they aren’t limited to a pool of candidates that have been brainwashed by Lucy Calkins?

A teacher certification is fine, but there are people that are experts in their fields with a passion for teaching that don’t have a certification in teaching. It’s not the rigorous training that you’re implying.

And there are people who are NOT experts in their field and do NOT have a certificate in teaching...and still do teach at private schools.

At least they showed up last year.

I mean, I guess, in theory but I saw how they acted last year. I don't want these people subbing and being around kids!

+1

Those nut jobs have no place in or around kids or education.

They should apologize to the teachers/administration for their bullying/screaming.
