As the majority of legislative sessions around the country come to a close, many states will finish the season having pushed through policy changes that are likely to have a notable impact on teachers.I can relate to this topic. "States have to make the budget work each and every year.Building on the momentum from the previous two years, in which lawmakers began aggressively pursuing teacher-related reforms, about a dozen states passed laws since January that curb or otherwise modify teacher tenure, teacher evaluations, last-in-first-out policies, and collective bargaining." Are they realing thinking about the children or how much money they can keep in the budget.Taking away a tenure bill will kill teachers and their job performace. And several more states are on the verge of passing similar laws as they wrap up their legislative sessions.
"Jennifer Dounay Zinth, a senior policy analyst at the Denver-based Education Commission of the States , which has been tracking the legislation closely, said the protracted interest in revamping the teaching profession amounts" Revamping please dont let me start on revamping. Let me run the state or national school system for a month. Just joking, the states are doing a great job protecting teachers and thier livly hood.Why is this happening at a time when the U.S. should be on a track of recovering from a depression.Some teachers work there butts of for tenure but, if the states are not going to have our back on other issues, whats the point.
Policies need to be put in place to protect, not hurt teachers.Think about it this way, teachers are the only one's that reach out to everyone everyday. Why let the teachers that don't do there jobs go and keep the one's that do. Why not make a law that protects teachers from getting cursed out by parents or standing up for themself's when students are wrong.I am sorry but, i am a little tired and upset at the push to toughen these teacher policies. I hope and pray that one day, this will get better.
