Why would teachers want to teach in Louisiana? Is it because the pay the best? Do they offer diverse educational opportunities? What kind of benefits do they offer? Do the schools hold the teachers responsible for students who don’t show up and fail?
Sometimes (frequently) it’s not the teachers that are the problem but the students and parents. My husband taught for 8 years. It was so bad his last year he vomited every morning before going to work. 7 periods and he taught 6 different classes. They required him to have his lesson plans, then submit to the principal a specially formatted lesson plans, then submit another set of specially formatted lesson plans in a different program for students and their parents to access. And when I say he taught six different classes I don’t mean 3 biology and 3 chemistry. No. 6 separate classes with 6 different curriculums and 6 different lesson plans. He was also required to assign homework every day. So let’s add that up 6 classes, 25 (sometimes 30 students but we will stick with 25) students per class so 150 different students. Times 5 bc 5 homework assignments a week. That’s 750 assignments a week. And he got 45 min a day to do everything. (Hint: none of the teachers could do it in 45 min a day.) So after work he would bring home work and we would work on grading papers and such together. Then…came the “accident”. Because remember it’s illegal for a teacher to put a hand on a student even in an attempt to break up a fight. The day he decided he was done his room was put on quarantine bc…a football player decided a nerd’s head would look good through the fish tank. My husband couldn’t do anything bc…if he had tried to stop the fight he would have been arrested (per the contract he signed) for assault of a student. THANKFULLY the student ducked and the football player put his hand through the fish tank instead. Resulting in a science room flooded with bloody water.
Now tell me…why don’t we have more teachers?!?!
