Hello Sorors & SFs,
I have been away for a long time and miss all of the wonderful info I get from everyone.
I am a public school teacher and my children attend private schools. My reasons are simple: it is not that I don't feel public school ed is "good" enough because I am a product, however, I have a problem with public school politics. For instance in my parish, we are currently being desegregated (which should have happened a century ago) the best black teachers are being sent to the best white schools while the worst white teachers are being sent to the black schools. Also I have a problem with the alternative certification teachers in my school. Now I believe that a good teacher is born and an ed major does not make one a great teacher, but just because someone is intelligent in other fields does not make them a great teacher either. So why should my kids receive inferior teachers because of the system when I can provide them with the best money can buy. Now that doesn't mean that I should deprive my students with the best teacher that they deserve (ME). So until my district considers children the most important factor in their decision making, a mom/teacher has to do what she has to do. Sorry so long.
