Topic: Teachers deserve more - page 9. (Read 1586 times)

The above responses are true, however the teachers in kindergarten,  primary  and secondary  and to the  University  are not trigonometry  teachers,  so their work should not be counted abortive  on the sense that  they joined to socialize the pupils and students  at a given  stage of education  in life and in the society.  So, base on their  facts I still summit that teachers  be rewarded and their effective  services  be requested  for, and proper curriculum development can change the system referred to as (trigonometry).
The following should be raised.
The medical sciences practitioners, lawyers  etc are they not practicing the knowledge they obtained in school in the real life?
 

Teachers should be paid more. And paying more will attract people who are better able to fit the requirements of the job. But I would say that the thing that needs changing is the nature of the job itself. I don't know what it's like where you are, but in my country 'teaching' is no longer about education, it's about training the kids to pass exams in order to boost the school's position in the league table.

If you put more money into it now, you'll just end up with teachers who are even better at training exam-passing robots. What you need to do first is to change the nature of the job. And that's quite a task. It would be great, but is so difficult to achieve. Even a change of government is unlikely to have any effect, as the 'league table' mentality is so embedded.



Hey! I use trigonometry in the real world!

touchy subject

kindergarten/playschool:
teachers usually are just there as babysitters. giving kids a paintbrush or a ball to play with while parents work.
some do however go the extra mile to inspire and teach. but broadly its a babysitting gig.
its a little hard to gauge which Kindergarten teacher has gone the extra mile. unless their was a 'parent survey' teacher review system to rate teachers based on toddlers behaviour.
..

k-12/primary school:
classes teach the basic things society need to get on day to day. reading, calculating. learning a bit about history and how things work. which is pivotal for making the difference of the success of a kid in later life. this needs to be rewarded to ensure all kids get a good first step into eduction and life. by this i mean rewarded based on a % based on the success of all kids in the class meeting basic thresholds.
many schools/education systems dont have diploma's or exams, where kids move on to secondary/highschool even if they have not learned how to read or write where by 'graduating' is based on age not skill.

kids should not be held back from their peers by keeping them in k-12 until they pass an exam. but k-12 teachers should not get a bonus if half the class cant read when the kids age-out of k-12.

..

highschool/secondary school:
teach kids many things. but sometimes useless things that are never used in the real life, taking time away from things that might be used in the real world.. like wasting weeks on trigonometry, but not taking a day to learn about how banks 'print money' using the scam deception of credit cards and mortgages. i think keeps should learn about responsible 'lending'/using credit. more so than trigonometry.

teacher should be more rewarded for teaching life skills and things that are needed. not rewarded for following a national curriculum plan
..

universities/colleges:
each student pays on average $£10k+ a year and a class is like 30+students strong, some 100 per class. meaning the professors are paid many hundreds of thousands.. by which the quality and depth of detail of those classes should reflect over $300k of professors teaching.
many university professors just turn up, write a title on a chalk board, and ask their students to do their own research on the topic. something not worthy of $300k a year

im not saying dont reward teachers for what they are doing now. im saying add in some incentive for teachers to go the extra mile. and reward that with extra reward

Teachers are nation builder. Teachers are professional who are trained specifically to train pupils, students from kindergarten  to the terminal of education in any part of the world. Teachers are builders who psychologically and educationally trained to understand  the mental ability of every child to be what they can do best in pursuit of education.

Today's world of development call it engineering,  medical,  military,  religion  etc, are the brain work of a teacher. So looking at the human development holistically,  without Teachers the world would not get to where it is. It would be appropriate to say after God, the Teachers should be mark next for the ability to procreate and bring human to what they should be in the future.

In this sense it is up to say that teacher should be well rewarded if we need the best from them, no teacher no development as the case may be.
