Central Falls school administrators voted Tuesday night to terminate all of the teachers at Central Falls High School, bringing teachers and their supporters to tears.
Lets be fair here. its a 6 hr day... :) 8-2.. (or is that 8:30-2)? i am required to put in a minumum of 9 hrs per day.. so i go into work for 8:15am and stay until 6:15pm.. then an hour commute each way, so 2 hours driving each day (at a cost of 270/month in gas costs) basically I work 10 hrs/day, and required to be online after work, on call some wknds. I have 401K that isn't guaranteed, and i pay 160/month for insurance. and they contribute? (6 hr day, summers off, bennies/pension...
When a student has desire to learn and apply themselves, they succeed as that child with SP did. but he is what i term an exception. his own battles with his illness has created a fighting spirit to succeed which drove him to work at school.. too bad there is only 1 example in the entire school they could show. again.. the exception to the rule... kids are failing in this country.. and its not getting better... (and i blame parents too, not just teachers and admins)
@Javy2727 In the case of Central Falls High school, it is my understanding that many of the students, over 60%, are immigrants and do not speak English at home. It takes time to learn a foreign language. More ESL teachers are needed in that school.
@Javy2727 A teacher can have the best lesson plan or use the best technology in the classroom. One of the biggest problems soem students are not motivated to learn. If the child does not want to learn he will not. Education must start at the home. If a child does not get that type of support, there is a possiblity he will fail or have difficulties in school .
@Javy2727 I am presently a Spanish teacher in Ohio and some of the blame can be attributed to parents and students. When a teacher call parents to inform that a student is not doing well and do not get backing from parents, well of course the child will fail. Furthermore, there are students that just don't care.

That girl student with the black jacket and eye glasses pretending to cry and trying
to contain her laughter is so freakish. The superintendent gets big bucks, but when people are doing it for free? That's weird.
