Teaching our children can be a profession
- Giving far more school choices to families
- Using Technology to improve teaching and learning
- Adopting a knowledge-based curriculum
- Starting education before a child is 5 years old
- Professionalize teaching
I do not really agree with this article. I have to admit that professionalizing teaching is a fantastic idea, I believe they are wanting to change all the wrong things. Yes, there are teachers that definitely should not teach. However, everyone who goes through college for a degree in teaching deserves a chance. We have a need for more teachers than what this will allow. I have to agree with the seniority distraction because there are many awful teachers that will not be fired due to having been there longer than the newer and better teacher. Also, why should the students or teacher be tested will an exam to base off the teacher's abilities. There will always be a few students that do not do well.
Yes, teaching should be professionalized! However, maybe we should think a little more on the guidelines and the requirements for a teacher to become a professional, like a doctor or lawyer.
