Not all “newbies” are good teachers, nor are all experienced teachers good teachers. I believe your argument would be stronger if you stopped attacking “newbies” and focused on the characteristics you outlined. <br /><br />Look at the characteristics of a “quality teacher” you outlined. Personal and emotional connection – depends more on the person than on experience. Deep knowledge of curriculum – combination of experience and education. Classroom management skills – can improve with experience but “newbies” can have good or bad classroom management, and so can experienced teachers. Respect, knowledgeable and caring – depends more on the person than on experience.<br /><br />Stop bashing “newbies” and start fighting for the best teachers – experienced or new.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-46668927386726364222013-10-22T13:04:39.145-04:002013-10-22T13:04:39.145-04:00Children first after my pockets are full.

Sadly enough, most students and parents are mis led thinking that they will be attending the "HS for Law" or HS for sports professions"and actually thinking that they are attending a law school or sports theme type HS. Well, the curriculum is exactly the same as it is at ANY NYC HS - the state requirements do not change so when students enter these bogus theme names High Schools they are in shock!!!!LOLOLL STILL NEED the 44 credits kids....sorry no sports games here. caLL MIKEYAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-14648017048738370902013-10-21T18:32:06.620-04:002013-10-21T18:32:06.620-04:00I have actually asked students and teachers at dif...I have actually asked students and teachers at different schools with crazy names what the names mean and all of them have no clue! I'm sure they are all churning out tons of doctors and lawyers considering most have research and science and jaw in their names . Oh wait must of them are turning out kids who need remediation in community colleges.

As an ATR I'm constantly in schools with beautifully sounding academic names. The schools are always the antithesis of its name.
