Our Economy Now Effects Our Children's Future....

Tenure is a wonderful thing.

Tis one of the problems with the current education system. There are a lot of teachers who have no business being in education, but once you're in, you're golden unless you do something really stupid.

Kinda Like the congressmen and senators term limits need to be implemented in all fassets our government!

In my field if you don't meet the rigorous standards you don't have a job. Then training records are required to be shared between companies to ensure sub standard individuals are not recycled and hired elsewhere.

That would honestly be awesome. I've known a couple teachers that were in the process of being fired, however they contacted the union and fought it. When they finally left the district at the end of the year, there were absolutely no records of what led up to or aspired after the union entered. They were hired without a problem into the next school and continue to move districts when problems arise.

That is unacceptable. I'd love to see a program set in place that makes it so that teachers cannot do this.

During the period between 1987 and 1994, the US air carrier industry suffered at least 7 fatal commercial airline accidents that were attributed, in part, to errors made by pilots who had been hired without background safety checks being completed. Later reviews of these pilots' records revealed prior safety violations or training problems which followed them to subsequent air carrier employment without the new air carrier being aware of these violations or problems.
In all cases, the new air carrier(s) had lacked access to, or had failed to obtain, the pilots' flight qualifications and other safety related records from the FAA and/or previous employers before completing the hiring process, thereby creating the potential for substandard pilot performance to continue. As a result, on October 3, 1996, Congress passed the Federal Aviation Reauthorization Act of 1996 (the Act).
The President approved the Act six days later on October 9, 1996. This Act, which had an effective date 120 days after enactment, is commonly referred to as the "Pilot Records Improvement Act of 1996" (PRIA). PRIA now authorizes the mandatory gathering and sharing of this specific information, which enables a hiring air carrier to make an informed decision before extending a firm offer of employment to a pilot applicant.

Federal Law Covers my field.

something similar was supposed to begin in 2007. However, it was only going to apply for the new graduates, not teachers who have already been working in the field. I graduated in 06, so I'm unsure if it went into play or not. From what I understand, it never made it since districts had a difficult time keeping the files.

You guys also have to realize that when I post something that may sound snide or bitchy, I haven't eaten shit in over 2 months. Literally.

Ive never ate shit and I dont get snidy and bitchy lol


Anyhow, their should be laws or something to were parents should do their job and BE parents or dont have kids to begin with if you dont have the money or time to spend time with your own kids. Thats should be a place to start not adding more stress to teachers.

I have no right to suggest, imply or otherwise state that the parents should not be having children. That crosses many professional lines. The most I can do is help the parents that want the help and require them to do the homework with their kids. Early on, I told my parents that their kids would not pass my class if they did not do homework every night with their kid. Even my parents that work late have to work with their student.

What percentage of parents (not just in your class but over all) would you say actually are proactive in working with their kids? from what i have seen, i have seen 10% actually did take steps to work with their kids.

what it comes down to is QUALITY NOT QUANTITY when applied to homework or to the duration of a kindergarden class.

If you are not thrilled about the cuts, then i suggest going with the option of organizing the districts together and have a state wide walk out. no one can bring the k-12 kids to school? the parents are going to not like that, right? now these people have kids and have to work... and no one to watch the kids? hmmm might get some feed back on that.

You are sitting on your bottom, spending your valuable time complaining about a problem. a better and more positive way would be coming up with a solution.
