My mother-in-law has her doctorate in education and 40 years under her belt. She feels many teachers dont deserve to make anything more than minimum wage. Thats bad when the person they hire to teach the teachers says what she observes in real life coaching environments on a daily basis is horrible (these views ate limited to the central Ohio to Athens area). No control, no grasp on the information they are teaching, not caring, poor organization, skipping important lesson plans, leaving kids behind that have trouble, sending home work that should be done in the class, etc. Etc. Etc. Etc.. Its hard to be pro teacher when teachers are not even pro teacher.
