The things we (currently) are doing relevant to student success are fighting for time among the nonsense. |
They are overwhelmed by the mandates . . . the paperwork and a litany of meetings. They don't have enough time to get everything done. |
We need to be having a conversation on all that is needed to gain and retain highly qualified teachers in all fields for a totally rounded education system, not pieces here and there. For example, the governor wants to give every teacher a laptop computer, and that is a lovely sentiment if every teacher was being paid at or above the national average. |
