Some people have a way with words. Others not way have. New York City’s Department of Ed will be looking for more of the former, according to the NY Daily News, which reports prospective teachers will have to write an essay to get a job.
The paper doesn’t mention it, but presumably would-be teachers will be required to “turn and talk” with their writing partners, and write seed ideas on Post-it notes before beginning their essays. Screeners will undoubtedly be obliged to hold mini-conferences with prospective teachers and give each applicant a compliment, before discussing strategies for drafting. Presumably, teachers will also have to sit on a rug to write their essays, since we know that it is impossible to write unless one is on a rug.
Off you go!!
