  • In Utah, schools can now hire teachers with no training whatsoever

    Aug 17, 2016

    Utah has a severe teacher shortage, so it decided to do something about it. Under a new rule, schools can now hire people to teach who have no training in the profession. None whatsoever. This is just the newest piece of evidence that the supposed national initiative started by the 2001 No Child Left Behind law to ensure “highly qualified” teachers in every classroom is at best unsuccessful and at worst a sham. In June, the Utah Board of Education approved a new rule that would make it easier for schools to fill teaching vacancies by all...

Those are some of the c...

    Aug 17, 2016
