Participant[quote=Djshakes]But this would be mean. They just come here to work and make life better for themselves. We are a nation of immigrants. Why do you like hurting these people? CA was theirs to begin with. It doesn’t matter if they took it from the Spanish and occupied it for barely 20 years. THIS LAND WAS THEIRS![/quote]

February 1, 2011 at 2:19 PM #660955Participant[quote=bearishgurl][quote=pri_dk]But one thing won’t work: Making teaching even less attractive as a profession.[/quote]
Agree with this, pri_dk.
There’s at least a dozen teachers at every high school around here that have =>30 years on the job. Middle and elem schools avg 6-8 with =>30 years on the job.
How can all these teachers be replaced (most w/bilingual skills). Of the handful of unemployed (in the education field) teachers I know, they don’t have proper credentials to teach here. And most of them are not bilingual.
These 30+ yr teachers don’t make any more by getting up and going to work every day. Many just love kids and teaching. What if they all retired tomorrow??[/quote]
Obviously you never worked in education. The best thing to happen would be for the 30+ year teachers to retire. We hire younger, more up to date teachers at a cheaper rate. I guarantee most 60 year old teachers are not bi-lingual either. There wasn’t as much of a need back in the day when they graduate and became licensed. Again, a lot of the older teachers are coasting towards retirement. The fire is gone.
For example, when I started teaching in 2000 the teacher I replaced was still teaching MS Works. She had no desire to learn and re-tool to teach Office.
