Teaching Is Much More Than a Credential

Maybe we should get rid of teacher school. Mr. Sir couldn’t teach his Algebra class today, so he came by my room, handed them all a worksheet that they didn’t know how to do, and told them to work on it at their cubicles. Nobody knew how to do it, so I let my 18 year old senior help them with it at the table. I saw their faces light up with comprehension. They complemented him on how well he explained something they hadn’t understood before. He beat the pants off Mr. Sir as a teacher. He should teach Algebra every day. I’d pay him.

The math teacher upstairs is very overwhelmed, and has a difficult time explaining things. I suggested to my principal that she send those kids downstairs one at a time, and my kid would help them. Everyone thought it was a good idea. My kid can put it down as volunteer experience. I think it will work out well for everyone.
