Teachers should graduate backwards

In teaching school, students should start TAing, eventually teaching freshmen in their final years.

When they graduate, they should be placed with 12th graders, and graduate to 11th grade for the next year, and so on.

Kids are easier to teach when they’re older, since they’ve been in school so long already. The younger a kid is, the less they already know, both in subject matter and scholastic habits.

Teaching the youngest kids is tricky and a serious responsibility, which should be entrusted to those who have subtracted bits of that knowledge one by one, and faced the associated challenges.

The OP has no awareness of what they write. I (male) taught elementary for almost 25 years. I would never teach anything above that because the students were then bigger than me.

Teachers are trained at specific levels. It’s not that you know every grade level. We specify between early, middle or high (depending on how the state classifies it).

Students are NOT easier to teach as they get older. There goes that logic. No awareness. The younger students can be molded. They’re more of a blank slate to be worked with. It has its challenges but as for ease, I prefer elementary students. You get that “light bulb” moment more often.

Teaching little ones is “tricky and a serious responsibility”. Everything else shows a lack of experience and understanding of my profession coming from the OP.

Not all teachers want to teach at all grade levels. My sister specially is an early childhood educator. She wanted to be a kindergarten teacher, but ended up working for a private daycare. There is no way she would teach high school. One she does not know those subject to teach, two as said she is an early childhood teacher.

My high school English teacher was moved to the middle school and ended up retiring because she was a high school teacher, not a middle school teacher, it was not her wheel house teaching children of that age.

I’m guessing you haven’t met many teachers outside of school… And not just because you called college “teaching school”

Yeah, these mistakes and general conveyed mindset means OP is clearly very young. Narrow viewpoint and weak hot take.

I know several, related to some. I’ve often heard “teaching school” used as a colloquial term for education graduate programs, not unlike “medical school”.
