Participant[quote=bearishgurl][quote=Djshakes]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.[/quote]
Well, my kids have had GREAT teachers that were 62+ yrs old. And yes, several were bilingual. Most are retired now but there are many more in the pipe.
Who do you propose we replace these teaching slots with, Djshakes?? The teacher credentialing process in CA is fairly rigorous. And many districts require bilingual skills. Has the CSU system been cranking out a lot of teaching majors lately??[/quote]
I haven’t really cared enough to look at current ratios of education major graduates but I would assume there would be plenty of fresh graduates looking for work that were education majors.
Teacher credentialing is rigorous? Doesn’t look any different than what I went through in WI. If I wanted to teach in CA when I moved here all I had to do was pass the CBEST test(if I remember name correctly).

DJ,
Spare us the melodrama. He’s trolling.
Plus, I’ll bet Arraya has actually read the Constitution.
Perhaps we cannot agree upon what it means, but we can all agree upon where it came from:

(I never realized that Jesus was whiter than the forefathers, or forebearers – which one is it again?)[/quote]
Than I apologize to Arraya. However, you can never underestimate some of the stupidity on here.
I think this is a more accurate representation of a picture.

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.
