Letter: Every classroom deserves to have certified teacher
Wednesday, Aug. 8, 2001 | 9:15 a.m.
As a 23-year-employee of the Clark County School District and the parent of two children currently attending school district schools, I've observed an alarming phenomenon occurring within our schools. Teachers, young and old, are leaving the employment of the school district at a frightening pace.
For a variety of reasons, many of which our school district refuses to address, it appears as though many of our children will not see the face of a fully certified teacher when they return to their classrooms in September.
Ask your child's teacher from last year if they know of teachers who have elected not to return to the School District this fall, and chances are they will produce a grocery list of worthy educators who have retired early, changed careers, moved into the private school sector, decided to teach where they can make more money, or just resigned because they are tired of the same old school district song and dance.
Let's work together to see that our children get the best the school district has to offer. Having a teacher in each child's classroom is a good place to start.
