Unbelievable insight. I really love this and I am a teacher. Very profound

Teaching is ....
May 28, 2018 10:21 pm

an art, a science, a skill, a talent, a gift. If someone in a teaching position is not effective, he/she must receive appropriate guidance and self improvement. It is never ok to prolong the inevitable until hundreds of children are ineffectively educated. It’s time for a real look.

Totally agree

This happened maybe 50 years ago. The were no teaching degrees to be had. There were no resource rooms and no PARAs. Teachers had to teach and discipline at the same time. And if they couldn’t. do it, they sold apples!
We have truly become a generation of ” those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach”
The result is a failed school system where teachers can’t teach, students don’t learn to love Torah, and kids end up on the streets.R”L

Imagine you had an employee at a business who kept breaking the computer every other week.

BS”D
wonder if he first guided and advised the teacher how to improve

If after

giving the teacher tools and working with the teacher (having the teacher observe a capable teacher) there is no improvement, then it might be the right thing to fire. The training ideally should be done before school starts.

Make sure

That if you post in agreement, at least you yourself should be a teacher to know how challenging and thankless a teachers job is.

to #4 a teaching degree doesnt make a good teacher. there are many amazimg teachers who dont have a degree and many with degrees who are terrible teachers.

Teachers Degree

Its also the schools responsibility to either offer programs which will give the teachers tools and methods to teach or request before hiring, a teacher must have a teaching certificate. Even though a person knows how to learn it doesn’t mean he knows how to teach. DZ.

Agree

I wish some of the Yeshivas would follow in there philosophy,
Education is Education, and a person needing a livelihood is 2 separate things. Our Yeshivos would Greatly improve if the administration would let go of the weak and incompetent teachers

So Important
