Better Teachers, Brighter Futures: How to Reverse Pandemic-Era Learning Losses Ch.3 | HISPBC

Schools grappling with the aftermath of COVID-19 policies have had their efforts hampered by various factors, such as teacher shortages, particularly in subjects like math, science, and computer science, as well as the abandonment of testing and accountability measures. Some schools even face misplaced priorities, as evidenced by teacher strikes focusing on issues unrelated class size, teacher salaries, student achievement, or even education at all. Simple measures like focusing on hiring higher quality teachers can help schools reverse course and move in the right direction.

This presentation is an example of a generalization put forth by someone who knows nothing about educating today’s children and even less what an average public school classroom is like. He and his equally ignorant colleagues should go substitute in the area’s lower performing schools and try out their theories before foisting them on others without proof they are effective.

What do you do??? In California, the answer to everything is raise taxes.

It all should start at freshman college level, require all education major students to be above average. That is above average IQ or above average ACT scores

There’s always the cry for better teachers when students perform poorly, but never the demand for better students nor better parents. Teachers can only work with the children in the school. They have no power to improve the students’ intelligence nor their behavior. An average teacher can competently teach an average or better student who pays attention in class, does homework and studies for tests. An excellent teacher cannot teach a student, intelligent or otherwise, who makes no effort to learn. Blame the bad parents and lazy students for their underperformance. After all, all American doctors are not excellent; most are average, but average is good enough if the patients get regular checkups and live a healthy lifestyle. No one blames the doctors for alcoholics or obese people. Why should teachers be blamed for the uneducated.

Listen to your introduction. If the teacher demands about non-education issues don’t convice you that Californians have lost their minds, I don’t know what will.
