I've heard from a number of people upset about the number of people at Buna ISD that do not have a certificate to teach the subject that they are teaching....I even have heard from people upset that the new gov/eco teacher allegedly isn't certified to teach government and economics. And they're a little upset by it....
I know when I walked out of university I was credentialed to teach history, government( I remember the old days for a couple of years they put Government, Civics, Political Science on the certificate,) geography....and crazy ass subjects I could just about see me teaching....psychology, sociology, anthropology....
Also, when I was hired by Buna, I had to be certified to teach government and economics before I was even considered. It was a big damn deal. Then Supt. Leland Williams checked my certification....Three times....
And I know it's harder than ever to find some one to teach.....But finding certain fields are much easier than others.....
Out of this, the Buna Board of of Trustees are saying that everyone should be certified by the year 2029.....How damn many are teaching in fields they are not certified? And those hired now should be certified with a year......Allegedly to meet once a month with the building principal to discuss their progress....I wonder if anything will happen at the end of the year if they do not gain certification?
That's 4 years out for all teachers being hired, I assume.....Trouble is, in 4 years, will anyone want to teach, much less teach in Buna, other than "old hands?"
