They are going to demand that school districts offer higher pay scales for so-called "high-needs" schools in order to retain teachers. The congressional GOP should stop such a federal mandate.
Schools are local.
Looks like yet another reason to homeschool.
Public schools are a 19th century paradigm that outlived its usefulness in the late 20th century.
JMHO. And observation.
More money and more federal regulations will not help.
We need to stop the tyranny of soft expectations.
We need the negroes to step it up and act like they're part of western civilization.
If I were a teacher in public schools today, I would be looking for a landing zone outside the public school business.
This is being done to sew up the teachers union vote.
Sarcasm off, as if that’s needed.
I dont see how this would work. Either you tell a teacher which school district to work in and run the risk they quit. Alternately you bus kids around the district to facilitate access. However, that doesn’t guarantee they’ll get the ‘good’ teachers at that school. Seems to me if they push hard on this it’ll wind up doing nothing beside disrupting an already dysfunctional system.
Another reason to get rid of the DOE.
......yet another reason why public schools should be de-governmentalized!
These liberals just sit up in DC and look for some problem or issue to try and justify their existence!
I hope I live to see the day that the. Department of Education is closed forever and NEA is broke and can’t pay it’s bills !
This coupled with a body guard needed to protect the teachers when disiplinary action needs to be taken.
Ain’t central planning grand? I love how all this command and control information comes out while he in out of the country.
U.S. to Focus on Equity in Assigning of Teachers
In real speak’
We are the government and you will do everything as we say or else..........
Sounds like a good way to make a lot of public school teachers quit, especially the good ones. And, maybe, that’s the Plan.
comply with existing federal law requiring that “poor and minority children are not taught at higher rates than other children by inexperienced, unqualified or out-of-field teachers.”
Being taught by unqualified teachers is something CAUSED by the Federal Government.
Good and experienced teachers will quit before accepting an assignment in a combat zone.
What part of this don’t they get?
Stay the hell out of our schools. You have done enough damage!
Many mostly black schools resemble battle zones or areas or semi-organized chaos. What good teacher wants to go into situations where they’ll be subjected to indifference at best and possible violence from their students at worst?
>>One reason experienced teachers tend to transfer out of schools with lots of minority students is that some students don’t treat them with respect. But the Obama administration is making that problem worse with its demands that minority students not be disciplined at higher rates than whites.
One other reason is that the ADMINISTRATION and DISTRICT don’t teach them with respect either. I left my job in 98% minority school, not because of how bad the students were (because they are easy to control), but because the assistant principal was HORRIBLE. She showed a lack of respect for her fellow teachers, and 40% of the staff left as a result.
Direct collision course with Teachers Unions.
More senior teachers get to pick their locations, and guess what? Most are not eager to fight in the Ghetto.
This should be fun to watch.
Most of the lousy teachers are minorities that superintendents have to employ to make the Ed Dept. in D. C. happy with the color count. As a retired Texas teacher, I have taught with many of them.
