Teacher or Teaching Quality?
Over at Education Week this week, dear ole Eduflack has a commentary on current teacher quality efforts, asking the question if teacher quality (as primarily reflected in teacher incentive efforts) or teaching quality (such as the current push for improving teacher education) is the strongest path toward real, lasting school improvement.
The full commentary can be found here: www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2009/11/04/11riccards.h29.html
It is really difficult to choose whether the teacher or teaching quality. Actually teaching is one of the most complex jobs nowadays. It demands wide knowledge of subject matter, curriculum and standards; enthusiasm, a caring approach and a love of learning; knowledge of discipline and classroom supervision techniques; and a desire to make a variation in the lives of young individual. With all these traits required, it's no wonder that it's hard to find immense teachers.

I don't like the teaching structure, It's very repetitive and doesn't support students on a case by case scenario.
