Blog Post 14

For this post I had to read Joel Klein's Teaching our children can be a profession column. In this column he brings up a few a few issues that we will face in the education workplace. I will address the issue and solutions in this post.
The first issue that I came across is that, Most teachers get hired because they have degrees. The solution to this problem is that school systems should have more requirements then just having a degree.
The next issue is that the older teachers will be chose first because of experience. The solution to this is that it's not right to choose an educator because of experience. No offense to an elderly educator but they usually have issues controlling their classroom.
The final issue is that some educators don't feel as if teaching is their profession. If a person wants to be an educator they should understand how important and vital they are to their children.
In conclusion there are some valid issues brought to the table by Mr. Klein, but they are also easily fixed. In today's society we are training children to know the bare minimum, which is how they will live the rest of their lives. With this attitude our classrooms and schools will fail.
