There's been a lot in the news lately about the teaching profession. Some feel that teachers are overpaid for their "part-time jobs" and that the perks teachers receive should be eliminated because workers in the private sector don't receive the same health, dental, and vision coverage. For those of you considering a career in education, this will be a topic of discussion in your classes in college next year.
You don't hear a lot about schools being blamed for not preparing students for the college; usually the blame is doled out on teachers. Click on the title of this post for an article about a mom in Manhattan suing the school her daughter attends because it's not doing an adequate job of preparing her for college.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on this. No, it's not related to King Lear or A Thousand Acres, but it's still discussion worthy. And while there is NEVER enough time in our daily class for discussion, it's always nice to get a little blog-chatter going.
Happy reading!
