Those Who Can't Teach Gets Fired.

I believe the children of our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way

-Whitney Houston's "The Greatest Love of All"

I grew up from a village of teachers. My mother is a teacher and my father was a teacher. I have numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins that are or was teachers. I lived in the school 24/7. I was there when teacher made an impact on children's lives. Now I can tell you I am more of a teacher than some of these teachers. In the town I live in and many others, it is a separation between how you taught and your upbringing. In rich active schools they have boosters, tutors, after school programs, and anything that has a resource while in poor schools they have torn up ceiling, thermostat broke, no computers or computer that are barely running, and little resource to garnish them a sense of them having a higher education. Today, there are people who use teacher as scapegoats to get a paycheck. Everybody should know those types of people; the kinds that do not teach your children anything, and when they get out in the world, they are lost when people outsmart them from.

…….So where am I getting at?

Check this out from Rhode Island and what they did since their teacher are not improving the students.

Seventy-four Rhode Island teachers have been fired from Central Falls High School, as well as 19 staff members, including the principal, USA Today reports.

The elimination of the 93 school employees was validated by the Central Falls High School school board, when it voted 5-2 last night to fire all teachers from the under-performing school.

But that was not all. Arne Duncan, Secretary of Education, said this.

Arne Duncan, President Obama's Secretary of Education, says replacing the teachers is "doing the right thing for kids,'' according to Greg Toppo in USA Today. Duncan will soon release a list of the country's 5,000 lowest performing schools.

Well for people who think getting an education degree and just going to a school to get a paycheck is easy, you better wake up. The reason is that sooner than later this is going to be a trend and teachers are going to have to earn their pay like any other worker. Teachers are supposing to mode the minds of young children. The children are the future and teachers are the one who sharpens the skills of the future generation. I can’t side of who is right and who is wrong because like I said “We all know teachers who are there just to get a paycheck.” Remember the movie “Lean on Me,” with Morgan Freeman based on a true story about Joe Clark. I do. I still remember he lit a fire and replaced people in position they were doing for a while just to get a paycheck. I still do remember when the football coach (Mr. Darnell) was fired as coach not for losing games but for allowing academically ineligible students to play. So to all the teachers, I was going to do a C.Y.N.I.C.A.L viewpoint on this, but the situation that happened here explains it all and should be a wakeup call for many.

Do you think that this is fair? Would this be a wake-up call for teachers’ performance? Do you know teachers like that?
