We need normal schools that teach teachers like we used to. There are teachers who know less math than students and speak less than perfect English.
If you’re a teacher you should have some basic competency thresholds.
- SteveGerencser 3y agoMy wife (engineer) taught a class called 'Math for Teachers', which was designed to teach elementary school teachers basic math. Not how to teach it, just how to do basic math themselves. A significant number should have failed that class but the administration refused to allow her to fail teachers who were failing for 'reasons'. She quit the job.
