They tend to employ
teachers who are
more inexperienced than the
hires at affluent schools, and they often are not adequately trained for the intense environments they will face, making them
more likely to leave, said Linda Darling - Hammond, a professor emerita at Stanford who heads the Learning Policy Institute, an education
think tank.
I will concede the solutions would need
more funding, but the solutions include changing the teaching profession, requiring different expectations at
teacher prep programs, reinventing professional development, having a
more rigorous human capital department (from
hiring to evaluations),
more choice,
more parent engagement... I also
think teaching is not a right, but something you must earn, you should have a society that invests in the teaching profession and
teachers investing in it too.
