[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 463854, member: 59"] Charter schools are free to pay teachers whatever they want, as long as it's minimum wage. None of my easy child's friends who graduated with education degrees were able to find jobs in public school systems and they are all working in charter schools and day cares. Why? Because so many states are going to charter schools because they don't have to pay the union negotiated wage. Our governor has cut public school funding in some cases more than 80% this year in order to force more charter schools to open. It's worked, we have a boatload of charter schools opening and a whole lot who are failing. Public school teachers are being laid off left and right. The only jobs left are in charter schools. easy child isnt making enough to live on, let alone save anything. But if she wants a job she has to take it. InsaneCdn, I can guarantee you that my easy child and the fellow teachers she graduated were, do know how to teach. In fact they are the ones willing to do whatever it takes to make sure every child succeeds. They are the one willing to differentiate their lessons and go outside the box and try things that haven't been done in the past. They are the ones who stay long after the bell rings and work long into the night preparing and not rely on what's been done before. They are the ones that often some of the seasoned teachers look upon as threatening their jobs because they are raising the bar. DDD this is not meant as any criticism against your sister. I am sure from your description she is one of the best and has the highest credentials. It's just that the general statement that teachers now don't know how to teach is not correct. Nancy [/QUOTE]
