God Bless our Teachers! No not everyone who is a teacher should be teaching but good lord, glad most of 'em give a damn.
I teach an after-school kids Dance Academy(FREE) and wow all I can say is I'm only with them a couple of times a week!!! Out of 30 kids, 2 parents have even came to see their kids progress! They won't just come pick their kids up an hour later to ensure they attend every session, won't send the given proper attire regularly, I mean good gawd!
I went to school and majored in the HPER Dept, left with a double degree in both B.S. Recreation and B.S.E. Physical Education. I keep teeter tottering on whether or not to go into the classroom FT as a Physical Educator.
In the Academy, I try to relate dance as much as possible to their core subject areas, and yes most of the kids really would benefit from extended day.
What don't they need more of though?? Folks phasing out PE, Basing EVERYTHING on these freakin tests, whew!!!! Educators deserve all kinds of incentives these days imho.
