Nope I work in a 3-6 grade school. 5th grade health taught by the gym teacher, I have first hand knowledge of it as I have painfully sat thru it as a 1-1 aide many years. Last year I had to try not to burst out laughing when during a film of the different cycles of a baby development, I had a boy ask the gym teacher…….how does the baby breathe is it like Aquaman?
The clinical rotations are part of their "classroom" education and minimum hours are needed for certification. They do not act independently and are under the supervision of a staff PT who is taking just about all the clinical responsibility/liability on their own shoulders. The student is there for the hands on, learning experience (ie, the out in the field classroom). It's the same with nursing, respiratory therapy, xray/ultrasound/MRI technicians, etc. Exposure to the field, practical experience and limited liability while the full time staff bears the brunt of responsibility for care and most of the potentail liability.
In my school the Gym teachers teach health as well. PreK-2.

Couldn’t agree more. Add in “balanced literacy“ where if a kid reads a book and writes a report on it you should not be using red ink to correct spelling, punctuation, capitalization, run on sentences. Ect ect.
congrats, you got the 'moron button' as well. people like you derail these discussion in a negative way
my earlier post touched on this and it's definitely an issue. Teaching is becoming less about the teacher in the room and more about the teaching to a curriculum and to the lower end of the mean.
No exhaustive research needed. Simply common sense. Now if you wanna insult your own intelligence by ignoring or not recognizing the incredible hypocrisy among this group that’s on you. Don’t see any ‘Mom’s for Liberty’ who are liberal👍
Quality of life is what you make of it. Today is a cakewalk compared to the entirety of human history. If you want to say things were better for a ten year window somewhere around the 90s I could get on board, but in general life in the USA in 2024 is among the gentlest, softest spaces to exist in human history. Today's societal failures are of a corruption within, not from without.
I just hope they are making those teachers carry insurance. I would want to a resident of that town and have to pay for a wrongful death suit the first time one if these teachers shoots someone by accident.
I’m not going to say whether it’s a good idea or not, but I’d imagine every teacher who is going to be armed is already walking around town armed. Are there that many more random , for no good reason, shootings in open carry states vs non open carry states?
no that is not how it works with ccw. gun owners are actually 1 standard deviation 'safer' 'more adherent to laws' and 'less likely to commit crime' than the general public. For a CCW (which is what you have here), it's 2 standard deviations.
I don't think there are many districts that have banned phones, amazingly. Somehow a lot of the parents of today, who attended schools that didn't even have landlines in classrooms, have convinced themselves that in today's world they need their kids to have phones. Meanwhile, the kids are in class texting, watching videos, playing angry birds, sending photographs of tests and answers to other students, and everything except learning.
I agree with you 100%
It gets worse some of the poorest performing school districts get the most money. Not really a shocker but this is all state moneyhow does a school score a ZERO? so many questions

they used some of the money to create fairyland positions of "Parent/Teacher Liaison", "Diversity Liaison", DEI Counselors (Diversity, Equality, Inclusion), Inclusion Access and Belonging Officers, ETC ETC. basically jobs created for the districts to use vs potential lawsuits or accusations of not doing enough when a shithead kid and his/them/they/thus/thing/it shithead parents (or singular) wants to blame EVERYBODY ELSE BUT THEMSELVES
I believe 2 of those schools listed are for troubled kids i.e kids that wouldn't be in school if not for the ridiculous law that every kid must be educated to 18.how does a school score a ZERO? so many questions

Well some went above and beyond with what they had to work/deal with.
From actual first hand experience in public schools we had more teachers mail it in during and after pandemic vs teachers going above and beyond
What I learned as a teacher in the pandemic is that when given the option of keeping their difficult kids at home with them to learn virtually or send them to school to an unknown situation, every parent in my school district chose the send to school option. It was quite the experience.
As did I.
We had teachers (multiple) who would put out pre-recorded videos on a regular basis during remote schooling.
I think the admins set crappy expectations for your school district. Mine immediately invested millions in technology, hardware and apps to support learning. They also established standards as to what was acceptable teaching and not. Our expectation was 100 percent live teaching lessons with the usual amount of support. It's a shame that you are your kids had to experience a crappy situation that like. There were districts that did much better though.
In our district (Township, not Atlantic City), which is probably one of the larger ones in South Jersey, teachers had no choice but to do this. The technology and internet bandwidth did not exist/was not available for every teacher to go live every period. Preparing videos and getting them online was at least as much work as doing the class sessions live, as the teachers were used to doing. I'm not sure why this is being portrayed as horrifying behavior during the pandemic. It's not like they assigned the same video all semester. They had to regularly create and upload new ones, to advance through the curriculum with new video lessons every day, same as when they were doing the lectures live.
Public. West Windsor-Plainsboro. One of the best due to all facets (administration, parents and teachers) working together in a cohesive and similar way.
