I have been subbing at various districts. There seems to be MANY passionate teachers but the system is flawed. Retention of teachers, treatment and pay seem to be an issue. Observations based on my experience working in global pharmaceutical companies, efficiency and streamlining practices are not utilized. Seems a bit archaic in process for certain areas. I am looking at career transitions in hopes of being able to mentor youth into the science field, but remains to be seen if I can jump over the hurdles. I know what I can offer, but feels that returning to the lab maybe inevitable at this rate of experience subbing...Flexibility is seen at the school level (middle/elementary), but the over arching district seems to be focused in the wrong places and stringent. Students not meeting standards at their grade level are handled differently and should be separated from the rest of the class to learn. I'm not speaking lightly on this topic... 6th graders are performing at a 4 grade level math, blaming covid hasn't seemed to fix the problem on 2023. I have had students ask me questions in spanish in 4th grade while another student translated... How did they get here?? Who is responsible for allowing this? How is this helping them learn what they should be in school? You can make changes if leadership is supportive.. that remains to be seen too here. I wouldn't recommend my child at this school unless they figure out a way to supplement these kids with assistance. Pulling them between classes seems very disruptive to students who are meeting grade requirements - there are other ways to provide additional support.... which includes compensating appropriately as well. I'm an complete outsider looking in who has spent over 20 years teaching in my pharma research labs always thinking out side of the box.I'm trying to understand that education box...
