I would love to see Joe Public in a classroom for a week (or better yet by Superintendent and the WHOLE SCHOOL BOARD! (Kudos to Kim above). I think it's a sound idea. Huzzah!

The state of education would not be in as bad as shape as it is in some areas if state/federal government entities put a monetary value on parental involvement ideas. I love the idea of a 'jury pool' of candidates that had to by law sub in schools. At one time in Texas, a proposal from the state legislation was up for vote that would compel all district superintendents, asst. supers, administrators, principals, etc. to teach a class for an entire week. This was never approved but it sure spurred interesting conversations about the 'what ifs' of the law. I was hoping this would pass and help those that have moved on up the ranks and lost sight of what it is like to be in the classroom or have been out the classroom for a large numbers of years. Great reality check. Those are very thought provoking ideas you expressed in this post!
