Do not throw stones at teachers!

From TV screens, from the media, from the Internet, streams of dirt are pouring on teachers. The teacher is always at gunpoint. Everyone can interpret his every word, his every act in his own way. The teacher is the most vulnerable person. He has a minimum of rights and a maximum of responsibilities. No matter what happens to the child from poor performance to committing a crime the teacher is to blame.

The teacher is not protected in front of students
A child can insult him, humiliate him, even hit him, and there will be no punishment for this (a lot of videos on the Internet prove this). On the contrary, the teacher will be blamed for everything. He did not find an approach. But not all children can be found! There was a time when I worked in a class where children with ZPR studied. It was ninth grade, and the children were between seventeen and nineteen. Two of them were already repeatedly convicted. Thank God I managed to find a common language with them, but every time I went to this class I did not know how the lesson would end. If at least one had the desire to call me or to use force against me, I could not do anything. Protection I would not find for sure. I really went to them like caged tigers, because they were huge inadequate children for whom there were no concepts of morality.

The teacher is not protected in front of the parents of the students
Now this is the trend: parents are always right. They come to the administration with claims and threats, unfoundedly blame the teachers, and they are trusted. And who worked forty years at school and devoted her entire life to children, can only make excuses for the fact that she correctly checked the box and did not call her son a moron. Parents can be understood. Children are the most expensive thing for them, and they cannot accept the idea that they're or Masha actually answered poorly or disgusted themselves. So who is the scapegoat? Teacher. Parents are not at all embarrassed in evaluating teachers. They will say about the young man: What can she take from her, she doesn’t know anything! About the old man: Yes, she should not retire anymore, she’s insane.” But at the same time, none of these parents can not only teach a lesson or teach something, but five minutes to keep the attention of twenty-five completely different children. And if they will immediately complain that the child has suffered psychological trauma. The administration will side with the parents so as not to spoil the image of the school. The union will not intercede, because it has long been pocket. And the teacher, spat upon and scolded, will either go to experience his humiliation secretly, or write a letter of resignation.

The teacher is not protected in front of his superiors
The school administration will order him to leave to work on a day off, or to clear the snow (there were already high-profile examples of this), or to submit reports, and the teacher will not be able to refuse. He used to be obedient and patient. And if he refuses, they will resort to the most important argument no, not to dismiss! To conscience. The teacher must! A teacher cannot do otherwise! A MYSTERY TEACHER! And the teacher agrees to everything. And if the boss wants to mock the teacher higher, then there really is a trouble. A large official wanted the teachers to sing in the choir, they sing. Wanted them to stand on skis they will stand up. I wanted to kick out on a cleanup day go. Nobody remembers any rights. The teacher has NO rights.

I do not want to speak pathetically, but for a teacher, school is not working, but life.

Work is what ends beyond the threshold of the workplace. The teacher brings everything home: not only students' notebooks, but also their life, their problems, successes and failures. The teacher answers the phone calls of the students' parents even at night. The teacher sets aside all his affairs for later to do school affairs. The teacher calls his students my children and actually considers them his own. The teacher sleeps 5-6 hours a day. More students themselves are worried about their exam results. He does not care what happened to his graduates after leaving school. The teacher, sometimes knows more about the child than his parents. The teacher lives, not only his life, but also the lives of hundreds of his students.

Teacher Competency Tests vs. Degree Requirements Only

This article centers on instructor competency testing and prerequisites, and in addition how it has influenced educator necessities for both new and current educators. The idea of Highly Qualified Teacher is investigated and assessed, including the numerous translations and desires for discovering Highly Qualified status.

Educator accreditation has its foundations in the 1800s when schools of instruction projects and instructor planning were distinctive for provincial groups than for urban areas and towns. Albeit proficient instructors felt that all educators ought to be set up through formal preparing programs and be ensured to educate, the overall population was not in assentation. 

The inquiry is an example from the math bit of the fundamental aptitudes capability test that all Houston Independent School District educators are presently required to take. Also, as teachers across the country think about the issues of enhancing instructive benchmarks, such competency tests are probably going to wind up required all the more oftentimes, say Houston chairmen.

What is better Teacher competency tests or Degree Requirements only?

Having degree requirements as the inly eligibility criteria sounds completely vague as teachers need to be tested on various grounds which is untouched with this particular criterion. Effective teaching can only be assessed with effective and efficient teachers which is under doubt with the traditional method of employing technique.

·         Degree Requirements only reflect the academic background of a person

Sticking to grades or number that a teacher has got while passing an exam does not explicitly state that the teacher is capable of handling the classroom or teaching requirements that lead to an effective classroom. Competency test provide an overall statement of the capability of teachers however the degree requirements just provide the academic background of a person who aspires to be a teacher. Considering degrees only would lead us to a situation which is highly under doubt.

·        Teacher competency tests are more effective

A lifetime showing authentication is never again enough to secure a showing position in the Houston classroom. An educator might be at first ensured by the State of Texas as met all requirements to instruct. In any case, Houston presently requires all instructors - understudy educators, new contracts, and classroom veterans - to breeze through composed capability tests when enlisted, and at regular intervals from that point. A showing candidate won't land a position here in the event that he can't finish the test, and educators as of now on staff must breeze through the test inside two years, or their pay rates will be solidified, and they will be ineligible for the HISD's liberal stipend program.

While the prerequisite of competency tests for educators is made up for lost time in an across the country whirl of discussion and is unequivocally contradicted by neighborhood instructor gatherings, Houston school chairmen are introducing it as a changeless program.

Educator affiliations question the testing for a few reasons. A composed test, they propose, does not reveal insight into the capacity to educate. Further, essential aptitudes inquiries may test educators in territories they are not instructing (math for an English instructor, for instance). Additionally, they guarantee it is an ''expert affront'' that throws a shadow on their validity; different callings are not subject to retesting, they say. 

Camella Walker, leader of the 4,000-part Houston Teachers Association, says she is aware of a few instructors who really took early retirement as opposed to confront the ''uneasiness'' of the normal testing. 

Regardless the outcomes from the previous spring's trying were prove enough to persuade Houston schools administrator Dr. Billy Reagan that the testing estimated a few sorts of insufficiencies. He focuses on that no educator will lose his activity over inability to pass, and that they will be given the same number of chances as they expected to pass. In reality the composed test, he includes, is just a segment of the locale program to enhance instructing. There are likewise classroom assessments, and any low-test score or low assessment is joined by the open door for the educator to take a region supported workshop in the region of inadequacy. 

Dr. Reagan says that the test scores enable raise to region procuring guidelines and can be utilized to create workshops in the regions generally required.  Another Texas law requires that any undergrad entering a showing degree program starting in 1984 must meet state-decided passing scores on the Pre-Professional Skills Test, the standard Educational Testing Service test utilized across the country. The HISD utilized the PPST in testing this spring alongside its own particular cut-off scores for passing. That test and one to be produced by HISD staff will be utilized as a part without bounds as well, says Ronnie Veselka, HISD agent administrator for responsibility and data frameworks.
