Response to NOLA Opinion on Substitue Teaching by School Board Members

The NOLA Editorial Staff states:

There's absolutely no guarantee that a school board member will be a good teacher. If they're not, it's the students who will be deprived.

Is there a guarantee that the current set experienced public teachers can teach?
No. And there is no absolute guarantee of that either.

Furthermore, the current set of NOLA public school teachers have the WORST track record for all of America.

So, if a school board member can't teach just 3 days out of a year, will that be as bad as the current situation?

But, should not a school board member not be able to teach just three days out of the year? Will that be so hard to prepare for? Is that so impossible?


Is the NOLA Editorial Staff so clueless? Say if the BOARD members of a Newspaper be required to read and edit three articles of their own newspaper per year? Or perhaps assist in an investigative report per year?

Would the NOLA Editorial Staff object?

AH, yes, maybe so.

We wouldn't want someone outside looking over their shoulder like the Inspector General is currently doing..... would we?


Don't mandate substitute teaching by school board members: An editorial
