Louisiana State Superintendent of Education Cade Brumley
Governor Landry and State Superintendent of Education Cade Brumley unveiled recommendations today to support public school teachers and students. The “Let Teachers, teach” workgroup focused on identifying classroom disruptions and ways to unburden teachers with unrealistic expectations, and putting practical solutions in place to allow teachers to focus on teaching.
Governor Landry says, “It is high time that teachers go back to teaching. We want them to teach kids how to think not what to think.”
Landry says classrooms should be learning environments not babysitting environment.
Brumley says help is on the way to restore common sense policies, protect teachers time and bring law and order back to school campuses. Brumley shared a few recommendations, from removing cell phones from the classroom and students who misbehave
“Placing ungovernable students in the middle and high school level at alternative sites so that they are not on site to continue to disrupt the teachers and the other students from learning.”
Brumley says they also want to support student mental health challenges through trained professionals…
“Students should have access to mental health, but teachers should be focused on ABC’s and 123’s not being forced to being mental health professionals.”
A state Department of Education spokesperson says some recommendations will require state action others can be addressed at the school or school system level.
