Educated or not, they are not "teachers". Sounds like you ran into some of those!<br /><br />People like that should really be bounced out of the profession! I have the highest respect for anyone who can inspire a kid to love to learn, however they come into a kid's life.<br /><br />I totally get what you are saying, though. The title of teacher should mean something, not just be slapped on anyone.KrisMrsBBradleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14988742743150495260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1071490312318545486.post-21246276743728108292009-08-24T19:18:21.507-05:002009-08-24T19:18:21.507-05:00In that light, you are right Mrs. B lol.
Sorry, I...In that light, you are right Mrs. B lol.<br /><br />Sorry, I guess I should have explained where that statement comes from. Growing up, the teachers in the county I grew up in were horrible. I mean awful. My 8th grade Algebra teacher was not even certified to teach math, she was a P.E. teacher...and because of that it brought my own personal standards of "teacher" up a bit..meaning more needed to be done before being called a "teacher" instead of a babysitter so to speak.<br /><br />The county I live in now has AMAZING teachers, and sub teachers and teachers assistants, they really TEACH the kids, as opposed to finding busy work for them to keep them quiet.<br /><br />You are right, anyone who comes into a class and leads is a teacher of some sort, and I think that it is neat that with a certain amount of credits you can be a sub, because there are a lot of people out there who would make great teachers. I just think that the standard should be set a little higher before a formal title is bestowed so to speak...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06530694215865491263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1071490312318545486.post-79938735395830613792009-08-24T18:56:59.195-05:002009-08-24T18:56:59.195-05:00In my school district, if you have 60 college cred...In my school district, if you have 60 college credits, you can substitute. And I personally don't have a problem with calling them substitute teachers, and I'm a couple of credits short of being able to get a teacher's certificate.<br /><br />Anyone who comes into a class, leads a lesson and keeps control of a class is a teacher of some sort, whether they have a degree or not.<br /><br />At least that's my opinion :O)KrisMrsBBradleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14988742743150495260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1071490312318545486.post-39530064924632039042009-08-24T12:50:35.059-05:002009-08-24T12:50:35.059-05:00I am not sure they should call them "Substitu...I am not sure they should call them "Substitute Teachers"<br /><br />Call them Classroom Helpers, or something like that, but if I were a teacher, it would annoy me if someone with no schooling or training got to call them selves a sub teacher is my classroom without going through what I had to do to become a teacher.<br /><br />No I am not a teacher, but if I were...lol.<br /><br />Your comments are working again, Somehow it got switched back over to embedded instead of pop up.
