Time out for teachers

A British educationist, Mr B. Jackson, advocates that teachers try working as labourers, farm workers, or factory hands. Mr Jackson, who is an educational adviser to the British Labour Party, said in Christchurch that it church that it should be compulsory for all teachers to have a term off classroom teaching every three years. “They should be given several options how to spend this time. Just going back to college or university is, not good enough, for they will think of themselves as academics. “If teachers were allowed to take up a term’s work in industry, commerce or farming, they would get a better view of what the real world is like.” Teacher retraining should be a right, and working towards a teacher surplus so that regular retraining was possible for most teachers was something which New Zealand should consider.
