But there may be one unintended benefit. For the first time, non-teachers will be in the classrooms of America. They will then see, first hand, the “easy” job teachers have. They will see the short year (theoretically less than 200 days- forget required training time and preparing for the next school year) and the short days (theoretically just 7½ hours including lunch- forget morning and afternoon, not to mention lunch, duties, meetings with parents and staff meetings).
Whatever the future of education brings, I believe that the changes have to be beneficial. It is hard to imagine anything getting much worse. I just hope that everyone involved is open to working together to get the best of all possible worlds. If we put our heads together, I believe it can work.
It will be interesting to see what happens.
