Did that make you a transgender, a Woman with a Y chromosome?I got a lot more training and education in the military than a grocery store worker does.
Hell, I spent nine weeks in California learning how to be a Yeoman.
It’s comical, and sad, that so many think they can very easily do this job. Even my oh so very simple PE job. Lol.I have a feeling that a lot of vets who accept this challange won't fully appreciate what they are taking on. I once accepted an offer to teach a paralegal class at a community college and was surprised how much time teaching consumed.
Lecture and assignment preparation, grading, and student interaction/counseling was a much bigger time commitment than I expected .....and that was a class of 18 adults at a private institution. I can only imagine the extra time and effort required to manage young kids in a public school setting where in addition to all of the above, you have to also have to deal with parents as well as school administrators.
The NC GOP is waging a war on public education. That is quite simply a fact. On their current pay scale, from year 15 to the end of your career - you get one raise at year 25. That’s it. When they do give an across-the-board raise, it is heavily weighted toward new teachers with veteran getting almost nothing. Case in point, this year’s “average” 4+% raise with new hires getting a 7+% bump and those over 25 years barely getting over 2%. They took away the longevity bonus worth thousands of dollars a year that every single state employee gets…except teachers. The new hires are also locked out of the post-retirement benefits I’ll get so they have zero incentive to stay.More reasons than that for the shortage…
Pay, shitty kids you can’t discipline…..many reasons.
I doubt that.What would be the hort reaction if this was done in California instead of Florida. My guess is it would be the exact opposite on all accounts. Lol
No. It would be stupid.What would be the hort reaction if this was done in California instead of Florida. My guess is it would be the exact opposite on all accounts. Lol
Lol…dude, please.And here's another thing... there are a LOT of people in the military whose job it is to be INSTRUCTORS.
Why WOULDN'T such people be qualified to be public school teachers?
I’d really like to know if that’s precisely the endgame here…to move even more public funds to wealthy white people.The NC GOP is waging a war on public education. That is quite simply a fact.

Thei goal is to wreck public education and then use the wreckage they created as an excuse to divert more and more public money into private hands.
Please feel free to make things up that I haven’t said. I don’t begrudge veterans the jobs. I’d just act that they be as qualified as anyone else who is eligible for that job.The veterans are not taking jobs away from traditional teachers. The story says no veteran has even applied for the program since the law was passed. But let's act like the sky is falling anyway....
Based on my experience, the saying "walk a mile in their shoes" is especially applicable to teaching. A large segment of the general public have a superficial understanding of what the job actually entails. Two of my sisters were teachers so I had an informed idea of the responsibilites. But more than anything else, it was the time commitment that really surprised me.It’s comical, and sad, that so many think they can very easily do this job. Even my oh so very simple PE job. Lol.
History? Speech? Literature? My goodness you have some dumb takesI would say the same thing with regard to taking a bunch of humanities courses.

I doubt that.
No. It would be stupid.
Respectfully, why do you bother with this place? I’ve noticed that very rarely do you participate in the discussion other than to say stuff like “Yeah, if this was the Ds/libs/left doing this…”
I was discussing school issues with our school attorney and a few of our legislators.then also give them the power to use nonlethal tranquilizer darts on parents for any reason they see fit.
"Fail to see". You have (perhaps inadvertently) placed your finger on the problem. I am not faulting your "failure to see" one bit. I recommend that you try teaching for one year, or even one semester, then report back about your experience.I fail to see how being forced to read Homer and write book reports makes one a good teacher. Especially if that teacher isn't going to be teaching literature.

Back to my question from earlier. If qualifications aren’t relevant, why not open this program up to anyone to help solve the teacher shortage? What special qualifications warrant limiting this to veterans?And college prepares them for that? I'd think combat experience would be more useful.
I think you will find that most normal and well adjusted veterans will be a hard pass on this opportunity.

Oh, I dunno... I would think someone who worked as an accountant could certainly teach accounting in a high school.
Life experiences should count.
So, again, why limit the program to veterans?Oh, I dunno... I would think someone who worked as an accountant could certainly teach accounting in a high school.

Then why the need for this special program?I believe some school systems do allow for occupational expertise to substitute for formal education when qualifying teachers.

I hear these type of arguments from people that almost got their degrees.Oh, I dunno... I would think someone who worked as an accountant could certainly teach accounting in a high school.

I thought "lived experience" was the bedrock of soc jus.I hear these type of arguments from people that almost got their degrees.
I'm told the pay is great. I've heard that many times on here. And 3 months paid vacation every year.More reasons than that for the shortage…

Still don't understand your style of trolling. You obviously get some joy out of it but it screams attention/mental health.I thought "lived experience" was the bedrock of soc jus.
Anecdote IS the new data, baby.
I'm fine with it if their military experience involves instruction or teaching in an extended manner (meaning it was a main part of their job). But having the dude who cooks in the mess hall teach ... hell no.And here's another thing... there are a LOT of people in the military whose job it is to be INSTRUCTORS.

Very large container.Container. That is my guess.
A fair question that I will answer with a question and an answer.Respectfully, why do you bother with this place? I’ve noticed that very rarely do you participate in the discussion other than to say stuff like “Yeah, if this was the Ds/libs/left doing this…”
What do you get out of HORT?
Ok, I can appreciate that. ThanksA fair question that I will answer with a question and an answer.
What am I supposed to get from hort? I get entertainment.
