And what about the instructional aides and other staff that do have significant training? And what about the web of relationships formed between the staff and students, including those between the janitors, lunch servers, etc and students? And what about the capacities and institutional knowledge that staff have about school operations?
Schools are complex operations, made simple only by those who don't understand them.

- npunt 6y agoYes. Maybe not for you, or for all students, but for some, yes. It takes a village to raise a kid, not just those formally designated 'teachers'.
- ticviking 6y agoThe lunch lady is a time honored and well known source of wisdom for those who get to know her.

- npunt 6y agoConsider perhaps part of the reason kids can adapt to new teachers each year is because there's consistency among the other members of the community, and that swapping the entire community out each year might be detrimental to their experience. Also, not all kids adapt that well to new teachers.
