| Good news. Now pretty much anybody can get in here now. |
The state Board of Education voted 6-4 in favor of allowing unlicensed people to teach in Kansas.
The proposal applies only to the state's six "innovative districts"--McPherson, Concordia, Hugoton, Marysville, Blue Valley and Kansas City.
Supporters of the proposal said it would help ease teacher shortages. Opponents, including the state's largest teachers union, said the move compromises professionalism in education and hurts students.
Kansas has seen a dramatic increase in teachers retiring, moving out of state and leaving the profession in recent years.
Gee I wonder why teachers are leaving Kansas? Could it possibly be because folks disrespect their profession and think any Tom, Dick, or Cletus off the street could do their jobs?
Isn't there both a book and movie entitled "What's the Matter with Kansas?"
Why yes there is.
And now we know the answer.
