Midwestern Teachers Reveal Why They're Leaving the Classroom
- cebert 4y agoIt’s amazing to me how we underpay those who will be helping our future generations learn and grow. If you’re intelligent it’s a hard sell to enter education when you can make so much more in tech or business.
- adaml_623 4y agoIt's just another example of underinvestment in infrastructure that's required to maintain society. In this case obviously it's human beings rather than roads and bridges.
- dev_tty01 4y agoIt would be interesting to break the behavior issues down into a few prevalent subcategories to get some understanding of what is happening.
- JohnDeHope 4y agoI lasted 1 year in the classroom. The rowdy, disaffected students were 100% the problem.
- JohnDeHope 4y agoMy suggestion… put 2 teachers in each room, a SME who covers the core material, and a disciplinarian who is good with kids. You’d get experienced professionals lining up in droves to teach deep dives into their favorite material if they trusted they wouldn’t be on the hook for managing the classroom, too.
- JohnDeHope 4y agoI hope a few of my students stayed in the field. If they did then maybe even a few of them are here? You guys were the best. Thanks for the memories. It really was a good year.
