My recommendation would be to mandate that at some point in time during high school or shortly thereafter.. every student work/live in a rural setting. A ranch, a farm, restaurant, or something doing with agriculture. The idea that being exposed to this would give them a far more down to earth and p...

No, U are nonsense!  Get off your *** & get your college transcripts & apply, & then pass the background check & go to work as a substitute, so that U can see what teachers are dealing with.  Or STFU about what HATEFUL **** U believe....

I know you mention high school. However, do you have a problem with random plumber who barely graduated high school teaching kindergarten? ...

A certificate is not the same as a degree. It is to ensure that the retiree-teacher has some basic level of what is expected when teaching children. It shouldn't take more than a semester to obtain it. As for the skill-set needed to teach biology, I'm assuming that the person hired for this role wou...

Hmmm.. so would you say that demanding this certificate is rigging the system against them? My experience is that demanding the degree/certification proves to be the deterrent. So what is your explanation as to why they largely do not enter the profession later in life? The opportunity is there and ...

Yes, a retired 52 year old should get some level of "pass". But, he should have also proven himself proficient in business or whatever other profession he may have been in. Let's assume a retired medical doctor wants to teach high-school chemistry, physics, or biology courses.  He should be allowed...

Possibly in your neck of the woods but not out here. Retirees actually have the advantage. They have other sources of income and so while they "student teach" and get paid nothing.. they still have income and do not need to supplement it with other jobs or need a spouse/roommates.  Retired folks co...

I'd love to see retired business men and women teaching nearly all high-school classes. You can earn just as much being a carpenter and have to deal with absolutely none of this. Some will say.. "We are dedicated.. we will forego money, sanity, and such in the name of our cause". Well.. my question ...

Education system... probably not the best way. Why? Relatively low pay and lots of unpleasant aspects such as idiot parents, braindead and overpaid admin, and society blaming you for all its ills real or perceived. You can earn just as much being a carpenter and have to deal with absolutely none of ...
