answer:The first thing that needs to happen is we stop granfathering old teachers into new innovative programs. Right now, whenever most schools try to change anything, teachers hired or got their license before the changes are not required to step up to the new pace. This causes a whole bunch of problems for administrators and new teachers trying to change anything. I think the administrative system needs to be gutted and re-thought. We are still under the late 19th century factory model of schools. For the most part, it’s the principal over all of the teachers (with the exception of a few department heads) and that’s not enough support of supervision, IMO. Teachers are left on their own. That’s fine for an awesome teacher but some that are struggling are left to rot on the vine until they get fired at the end of the year. The kids suffer and the school suffers from this. There needs to be a more supportive structure so more teachers can be excellent. I’m not sure how new schools should look, but this warehouse factory thing needs to end. Sometimes I think we need a great purge and just burn all the schools down and start over. I’m only kidding—somewhat.
