and subject taught. Grading papers is fairly easy in a math class, for english, you have to read all of the papers.
PhsEd should not be paid near as much as core subjects.
The question is though, is it harder to teach Math or English?
My wife said once, if she had it to do over again, she would have taught math...
From my experience, math is easier to learn. There is only one answer for each problem. Get into english grammar, and that isn't too bad, but literature boggles my brains. I seldom got out of a book what teacher said I should....
My GED test scores were 88 to 92, except for literature, that was 58 IIRC, might have even been 48.
I think it might be more accurate to say he doesn't care enough to try - Sorry, UtahBill, if I’m putting words in your mouth.Declaring me wrong and proving it with facts are two different things. Sadly, you haven't been able to prove that I am wrong.
See now, IMO, the teacher shouldn't have told you what to get out of the book, they should have asked you what you had gotten out of it - after reading it - and discussed yours and other student's takes on the whole thing.My wife said once, if she had it to do over again, she would have taught math...

Depends on the student and the teacher in question.The question is though, is it harder to teach Math or English?
The worst one was senior year, she did ask, then told us we were wrong....I didn't much like it before that year, hated it while she was my teacher.See now, IMO, the teacher shouldn't have told you what to get out of the book, they should have asked you what you had gotten out of it - after reading it - and discussed yours and other student's takes on the whole thing.
But meh.

If it were me teaching, I would have my students read the book, then turn in a short paper about their take on the book, and have them read and explain it to the class.The worst one was senior year, she did ask, then told us we were wrong....I didn't much like it before that year, hated it while she was my teacher.

I hated fiction until I got into science fiction, and after reading a lot of Heinlein, I realized he was sneaking in a lot of good stuff. So I reread all of them, with a highlighter at my side....If it were me teaching, I would have my students read the book, then turn in a short paper about their take on the book, and have them read and explain it to the class.
Or something along those lines.
Firstly, they would have to think up something on their own, and secondly, the rest of the class would be exposed to ideas they hadn't thought of.
Among other things.
you make statements that you won't reference, and expect others to prove you wrong?
Highly qualified teachers and pedagogical autonomy
In Finnish culture, teaching is one of the most important professions of society, and substantial resources are invested in teacher education.
Teachers are trusted to do their best as true professionals of education. They are entrusted with considerable pedagogical independence in the classroom, and schools have likewise enjoyed significant autonomy in organizing their work within the national curriculum.
All Finnish teachers complete a master’s degree, either in education or in a teaching subject. They are considered pedagogical experts.
Additionally, the profession of classroom teacher is greatly valued and popular among post-secondary students. Only 10% of the applicants for teacher-education programs are admitted.
Finnish teachers set high standards for students’ literacy skills and interests.
Regarded as educational experts, Finnish teachers are relied on when it comes to student assessment, which usually draws on students’ class work, projects, teacher-made exams, and portfolios. In Finland, teacher-based assessment is all the more important because at Finnish comprehensive schools students are not assessed by national tests or examinations during the school years or upon completing school.
Teachers are vested with considerable decision-making authority as concerns school policy and management. They have almost exclusive responsibility for the choice of textbooks and have more say than their counterparts in the OECD countries in determining course content, establishing student assessment policies, deciding which courses the school should offer, and allocating budgets within the school.
your unreferenced statements exceed your referenced ones....those are the ones you need to prove, since you are the one making them....I have referenced my statements with links, but it's not my fault that you didn't read them. The burden is on you to read the links I provided.

My unreferenced statements were refuting your unreferenced statements, so the anus is on you.....The only unreferenced statement I made was about the 5 year old getting arrested and if you ask too many questions you can be expelled. The rest like public indoctrination are all referenced. The onus is on you to disprove my facts. Saying that you don't agree with my facts and proving it are two different things. I'm still waiting for you to back up your statements. To wit, you haven't done so yet, so all of your statements are unreferenced.

don't hold your breath, I know that educating you is too daunting a task for me, I have way too little patience.Actually, I entered the discussion after you were discussing your points. The onus is on you to back up your statements and to refute the facts I provided. I'll be waiting patiently for your facts.
don't hold your breath, I know that educating you is too daunting a task for me, I have way too little patience.
I will cast my pearls elsewhere, thank you....:2wave:
You assume too much, without knowledge, that is your problem. You only hear what you want to hear, and disregard the rest. (Paul Simon, Art Garfunkell, the boxer)In short, you have nothing to dispute my facts. I'll take this as a concession to my points.

I do not concede, I retreat in the face of superior stubbornness, and inferior intellect based on having a very closed mind.
The potential reward for educating you is nil....
If I am to be proven wrong, it will be only in your mind. But, to humor you, what specifically did I say that you want proven? No fair if what I said was in rebuttal to your unfounded opinions...Then pony up some facts or are you afraid to be proven wrong?

cut and run,In short you have nothing except your hot air. Good day to you sir and thank you for your concession.
cut and run,
I caught you in one,
for me do the same,
or admit you are lame.
My one is your claim about arresting 5 years old, so YOU OWE ME ONE.....
