Reply #59: I think the poster refers to attitude of the replacements .

I have heard other teachers speak of it. Even the interns from the state universities speak of experienced teachers as if they are not worthy. They are walking into classrooms and acting superior. Some teachers refuse to take interns anymore, even if they get credit toward re-certification. The last 10 years I taught I would not take student teachers.

I think the badmouthing of public school teachers with tenure started before we realized what they were doing. I think it is being integrated into their training now.

Now we know, and we either defend ourselves or public education dies.

I am retired, so all I can do is speak my mind. Teachers are catching on quickly.

I think you misunderstood the poster to whom you responded.
