I AM CERTIFICATED IN a Lot of stuff. I don't
Bring it up, I DON'T BRING IT UP SO I
DON'T GET QUESTIONED ON IT.
Its a FL thing! A1A Beachfront Avenue!!! Word!!Ask yourself, who benefits from an education system such as this?
I got close to obtaining one of those certificates, I love teaching. One on one type. But where I am there are no limits on class sizes and teachers union is only concerned about their pension (by the way teachers union and teachers are different things, however teachers do nothing to change the fact that they are not represented). I couldn't be in the environment where I cannot speak my mind.
some examples ... an anti-war arts project was axed because a student made a gun replica
... putting students into applied math classes where they learn who to do taxes for 4 months in grade 11
... solving all quadratics with graphing calculator - people leave high school incapable of subtracting fractions and only able to draw graphs using table of values
To go back on track - teachers are different, just like any professional. I believe all started out wanting to change the world (although a prospect of summer "off" is a good one), some were broken by the system, others are still holding on, I salute them for it.
