Many of today’s teachers are incapable of holding a job with any real skills. They have been pushed into teaching because they are illequipped to do anything serious. Is it any wonder our children are as dumb as their teachers?

I was told that a person could get a substitute teaching job with only 2 years of college under one’s belt.

I was looking for a job after I got my BA cum laude in Gov’t & International Politics/Electronic Journalism and figured it would be a way to bring in a little money while looking for something more permanent. I could teach English, history, civics, things like that.

I live in the DC area and applied to all of the neighboring school systems as a sub. DC Public Schools sent me a letter saying that my credentials didn’t meet their standards.

DC Public Schools has consistently been amongst the lowest performing and having amongst the highest per-student cost in the country. I am wondering what sort of people are teaching those poor kids.

Oh!! You will get hammered for that. You're right and I am a retired teacher but you will still get hammered.

Most teachers I knew and know don't want to leave the high school experience behind so they embed themselves in it. They are Peter Pans.
