5 Schools should 'share best teachers', report claims

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-23267983

Summary:

According to a new report the best teachers should be loaned out to under-achieving schools to help them improve. The reports challenge is to deliver high standards for all groups at all schools, which will happen if the best teachers are divided over less good schools. This new method will only count for all schools in one city. So good teachers stay in their same working-area. The goal is ‘’ spreading excellence across the city’’. In the end of this article the subject watered and other proposals such as ‘children should also learn a musical instrument or learn to sing’ are introduced.

Opinion:

My opinion about this article is quite simple, I don’t think it is a good idea. First of all, how do you know a teacher is good? What is good and what is bad? Of course pupils can tell which teacher is better than another, but what is the main goal of a good teacher. I think it is very difficult to get to that point. It is, in my eyes, also weird that teacher should just switch from their work placement to another. I wouldn’t like it. The ending of this article is a better idea to me, introducing pupils to musical instruments and creative subjects. It is very important for a child to grow up with creativity around him or her.
