Are Trainee Teachers In _(the) UK are Stupid?

Yes, the system is spiraling downward everywhere. The teachers who trained the teachers should be held responsible.

D'ohh -- posted a double mistake myself and ran out of time to fix it. Should have said:

You're testing us, aren't you?

There are problems on the quality of teachers, particularly in the recent years here in India too. I don't attribute the reason on the part of teachers, rather to the system of education.

*Automatic promotion up to 10th standard for school children by policy regulations, which leads to the lethargy and lack of seriousness in the minds of teachers as well as students.

*Mixed government and private institutions, having vast pay scale differences, compromise on qualifications and lack of norms for pay scales etc in the private sector.

*Mush rooming of schools and institutions with business motives-population growth based opportunities.

* Lack of professional training to teachers right from schools to higher level institutions.

*Teacher to student ratio gaps, work load aspects affecting care aspects.

*There seems to be a knowledge transfer gap between past generation expert teachers to the new generation teachers, lack of precise text books.

*Current education curriculum is rather becoming heavy to teach and promote students, rather expecting too much on futuristic aspects but delivering minimal due to the poor conceivability of students.

*The critical points worth noting are- workload aspects, periodical refresher scope for all teachers, sufficiency of teachers and motivation, insistence and facilities to pursue higher knowledge etc.

*After all teachers are just human beings, they choose the profession on situational needs, particularly women folks.

*The modern life systems and diversions like T.V, very high academic pressure levels our own made instigations.

* Simplification, content optimization, clarity in curriculum design should be in our design consideration of education systems.

Your other thread must be a test also.............either that or you've been drinking windshield washer fluid to keep warm.

From the looks of things from this side of the pond, if they keep raising tuition over there, all of the teachers will eventually be hanged.

It's from the Daily Heil,

As a general point on their articles, I usually find the exact opposite view is closer to the truth.

But then again, I didn't support Moseley and his Brownshirts before the war.

I don't know about what's happening in the UK, but here in the USA things are going to hell in a hand-basket as well..........I've seen it with my own two eyes and two ears while attending several prestigious engineering schools, where brilliant book smart Graduate Students with no common sense whatsoever are teaching Undergraduates. In my estimation the inclusion of common sense is an extremely important component to being a successful engineering educator.

"Are trainee teachers in UK are stupid?", does not recommend you as a commentator.

How many UK teachers are stupid, compared to the number of those teaching in other nations are stupid?

What is the difference between stupid teachers, ignorant teachers, and when does a well educated marginally intelligent teacher triumph over an intelligent ignorant teacher?
