‘The idea of middle school was supposed to be that teachers there were uniquely qualified to address the social and emotional needs of adolescents, in addition to teaching them subject matter.
But in reality, things being the way they are, any teacher who is any good avoids teaching in middle school. Only the worst teachers are willing to take the job - all others opt either for cute little kids, or teenagers who might conceivably be mature enough to want to learn something.
LOL! Oh my, this could take awhile. LOL! Bawahahaha. uniquely qualified
We don't need teachers to address the the social and emotional needs of adolescents,
We need this: teaching them subject matter.
But that doesn't interface with the agenda, now does it?
