They absolutely do. In fact they're going on strike in the UK over
intolerable working conditions, and while the MSM report this as
ostensibly about "pay" the deeper reason is that they are
micro-managed to hell.
- bemusedthrow75 3y agoYes. They need less oversight, more training (particularly in tech and tech-adjacent issues) and more power over curriculum.
- nonrandomstring 3y ago> more training (particularly in tech and tech-adjacent issues) and more power over curriculum. Yes yes! They are crying out for this too. I was involved in an international conference a few weeks ago on attachment theory and education and all the UK and US teachers said that they want more training to become more self-sufficient in IT. They want more autonomy over elements of the curriculum that use tech. They are also uncomfortable with using Big-Tech products in schools and concerned for the children over privacy. Unfortunately I can't post the video b/c rights/confidentiality but if I am ever able I will do so.
