Here’s an idea: “Each school should have at least one teacher counsellor, as well as several student counsellors. Emotionally stressed teachers are not good teachers, and teaching can be a very emotionally stressful profession. Continuing education of teachers should be ‘part of the job’. Each individual teacher should be teaching approximately four days a week and learning one day a week, which fits well with a varied curriculum.” Metafilter | Comments on 12863
