"Compared to other industry professionals, teachers are not compensated as their academic degree and certifications would imply." Why do you want to teach in our school? What reasons should I hire you over a recent college education major? This was a question posed to a candidate during a panel interview by my principal. The candidate was a career changer. Was this a fair question to ask of someone who has gone through the process of becoming highly qualified to teach? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I think that it is fair questions because teaching is a difficult profession. You need to be physically and emotionally prepared to face some difficult challenges in the classroom. I often hear people make comments such as: being a teacher is so easy, teachers get too much vacation. The truth is that it is a demanding job. Some people change majors from other jobs thinking that teaching will be easier. The administrators have the right to question the candidate who is interviewing for a job.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: very insightful and a great solution.
