When it comes to getting the best teachers possible into the system, what are your priorities? Rank the approaches below from 1-5, with 1 being your highest priority.
Schools are not corporations. You can fire employees, I cannot fire my students. How can I be evaluated on students who do not speak English, have impoverished backgrounds, who come from violent homes and so on and so on? There needs to be reform, but it needs to start at home, not with teachers. Wherever there is a great student, there is a great parent or guardian behind them. Teachers can no longer be blamed for all of society's problems. A child's first teacher is his/her parent(s).
