Why is it again that public school teachers don't want to say on the job?
The board heard testimony on a proposed rule that would loosen requirements for college graduates to teach in Texas public schools. A vote to accept or reject the State Board of Educator Certification's rule was expected Friday.

"The problem is retention, not supply," said Richard Kouri of the Texas State Teachers Association. "The real problem is our new teachers don't stay in our classrooms for very long, and individuals who do not come through traditional certification programs leave sooner than those who do."
Considering that teachers get the summers off, the pay ain't that bad, if you work it out on an hourly rate. What sucks is spineless administration that won't stand behind the teachers who are faulted for pointing out that idiot, worthless children aren't the little geniuses that their parents think they are. Maybe if there was some accountability in the management, teachers would want to stick around longer
