Pauk: this seems to be quasi-insulting.
Is level of education germane to teacher qualifications?
Troutman: are teacher education programs selective?
Pauk: should it be harder to be a teacher? It stands to narrow down the pool.
The best teachers aren't always the smartest in terms of intellect.
Troutman: licensure and qualifications in part addresses the barriers/requirements for teaching.
Troutman: irony is being a substitute teacher is far easier than ever before.
Pauk: its hard for education to attract elite professionals given the demands and pay.
Tigges: complaints play a role in it. Troutman was told earlier in his career that if he didn't fail students he wouldn't get complaints.
Tigges: would paying teachers better draw in better teachers?
Tassel: it would increase the pool size.
Pauk: there is a disparity between the amount of work that some teachers put into their position. It can be a punch the clock job or a full time, year round endeavor.
Tigges: why doesn't administration have more say in teacher compensation? As managers they are more in direct contact with the staff.
Pauk: collective bargaining does help protect the teachers from abuse.
