Some you might not wholly agree with, others might just make you
chuckle, but the fun post is sure to provide
at least a few useful
lessons to every reader.
And so I can't help but emit some combination of a
chuckle and a groan
at the reaction to the SUNY Board of Trustees Charter Schools Committee's decision yesterday to permit charter schools to hire teachers without the standard year of coursework and promise to complete a Master's degree but, instead, have 160 hours of instruction in behavior management,
lesson planning and other skills; have 40 hours of supervised experience in the field; and pass one exam designed to test strategies for teaching students with special needs and English learners.
