@JoshKunnath As teachers, our goal is to get the students not just excited but passionate about Beauty and Truth found through the lens of our discipline. Grades undermine that endeavor.

[ʎpɐssɐϽ ןɐǝN @theeSCATologist]

@JoshKunnath Unfortunately, grades are the primary language we use to describe the educational experience, which is like farting "Ode to the West Wind."

@JoshKunnath Let me know if I can help...and who's Cody? 😁

@JoshKunnath Now don't get me wrong, teacher development is key, but it isn't built into the day. Mentoring by veteran teachers has to happen outside of contractual time or in spite of it.

@Drewrysaurus Not to mention that Jesus fella. They're really scared of that guy!

@JoshKunnath But they are not...

...not to mention that I would lose my collective bargaining rights if move to a private school.

Been saying this for years. If I were to leave my public school teaching job for a private school gig, I would be taking a $25,000 a year hit. Furthermore private school teachers don't need to be credentialed or subject matter competent.

Not only is @nhannahjones correct, the data shows that the average public school teacher is more educated AND more experienced than the average private school teacher. In fact there’s only one category that private school teachers excel in:

Being white
