PreTeena by Allison Barrows for January 11, 2011

She’s an older Teena….

Maybe she’ll be the spark that will give Teena her direction in life… Never know.

But I love that form of teaching!

And I bet she graduated with honours from her liberal arts college! (I wonder what she’s learned in teacher’s college so far.)

By the time they get finished teaching her all that stuff she’ll be unfit for public office.

Why do student teachers have to pay for the experience?

What’s scary is that this is an accurate portrayal of the system….

Trust me, that first day in front of your first class your brain is thinking little more than “Oh My GOD what have I done.” as you look at 30 pairs of eyes staring at you.

Them as can, does. Them as can’t, teaches.

Them as can’t teach, teach teaching.

snort A classic falsehood. Tell that to the University of Phoenix professors who are also working in the same industry that they teach about. Tell that to every Soldier training (or should I say teaching?) junior Soldiers their jobs, tell tha…ah, not much use, I’m sure.

You can lead someone to knowledge, but you cannot make them think. There are good teachers, bad teachers, outstanding teachers, and awful teachers - just like every other profession.
