He is quitting at the end of the year, as it is so stressful.<br />Blessings,<br />Jillian<br /><><Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2044945947832003194.post-77712360500004595412009-09-13T19:39:48.982-07:002009-09-13T19:39:48.982-07:00Ganeida, I agree.

It took a few days observing the class that I ruled it out. The poor teachers desperately *wanted* to teach but spent far too much time simply attempting to maintain order in their classrooms and, by the time everyone was organized and settled, it was too late. Impossible to cram a 50-minute lesson into 20. <br /><br />As for the violence and overall disrespect for teachers and learning, well, I don't have any answers. But I suspect it is at least a combination of a failure of parents to instill a healthy respect for both in their children. And how can a child view a teacher with respect when the parents verbally abuse the teacher in plain view of the child?Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07773816461928672279noreply@blogger.com
