Replacing Teachers

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Im sorry to hear that, truly. I have to ask, if i may respectfully, why your florida pension is thst small? Do they not have a good pension system? I know of teachers here that moved to florida to teach after retiring. So they were getting their pensions from here, and getting a full salary in florida. And then they got SS as well.

My pension was for 10 years' service. It would have been about twice that for 20 years. I started teaching at age 36. Florida's pay and thus pensions suck!

Classrooms are already moving away from personal instruction by teachers.

The lack of knowledge you clowns have about education is equivalent to trumps 4th grade vocabulary.

They mean well but their hands are tied by the administration.

Most teachers

Are 8th Grade math teachers required to have math degrees?

Why do you think that is? If we want good people like yourself teaching then chsnges need to be made.

It won't change because school boards throughout the state abuse teachers. I taught for 21 years. Do you know how many times I achieved tenure? Once. Taught there for 10 years. The longest anywhere else? 3 years. Tenure is at the start of the 4th year.

It is far too easy to replace experienced teachers with cheaper teachers just out of school. I left a school at 3 years and my position was replaced every year by a first year teacher for 3 consecutive years. Their total salaries for those three years would not have paid me for a year. It's a well-known racket.

Thats really disgusting frankly. We hear posters here complaining about teachers. Then when theres a good one its "they are overpaid" ad nauseum. They want the job done for nothing. Thsts their goal. Bottom line.

I judge education by people's actions. Based on my observations education is an abysmal failure.

Congress, Cabinet and the POTUS............ let's talk about failure.

The whole country is failing.

Unk,
I'll bet that everyone in America who complains about affordable housing has a smartphone. I'd call that failure on a massive scale. And that includes those who are sipping a Starbucks coffee and complaining as well. And don't get me started on movie channel subscriptions.

I dunno. I think I may be right about this.

School administrations can thwart teachers' efforts in several ways:

• Creating a Toxic Environment: Administrations may foster a culture that discourages open communication and collaboration among teachers, leading to decreased motivation and performance.
  
  1
• Setting Unfair Barriers: Administrations can impose unrealistic expectations or lack of support, which can hinder teachers' ability to succeed.
  
  1
• Lack of Professional Development: Insufficient resources and opportunities for professional growth can leave teachers feeling unsupported and unprepared.
  
  1
• Failure to Address Burnout: Ignoring signs of teacher burnout can lead to increased stress and dissatisfaction, ultimately affecting teaching effectiveness.
  
  1
• Neglecting Teacher Well-being: Administrations may prioritize their own agendas over the well-being of teachers, resulting in a lack of support and resources.

  These factors collectively contribute to a challenging environment for teachers, impacting their motivation and effectiveness in the classroom.

It's failure in real life. A person can graduate from school with honors and go completely down the drain after graduation.

Not for the most part, no.

I've always thought that 'commencement" ceremonies should include what has happened to previous generations of grads. It might put a dose of reality in those skulls full of mush.

You realize how quickly the number of people would climb into the thousands, right? Once in a while a former student who went on to accomplish something remarkable is invited back to speak, but not everyone.

My point is that a degree isn't a guarantee of anything in life.
