Teachers are an Endangered Species - Facing Extinction by 2030


New teacher, Mr. Dodo, "At least I'm not an ATR."



I just read a blurb from MSN http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/careersandeducation/8-jobs-that-will-go-extinct-by-2030/ss-BBlImkg#image that teaching and teachers may go the way of the dodo bird by 2030. No big surprise - technology, a carefully coordinated campaign and passive unions have all but made it a certainty. Logically schools could also go extinct.

Many, many years ago - long before I had even a twinkling of a future in teaching - I was reading everything I could get my hands on by Isaac Asimov. Thinking about this brought to mind an old story, http://newlearningonline.com/new-learning/chapter-1-new-learning/the-fun-they-had . The anti-teacher movement needs to consider the road it's paving for future generations.
