As bias as you believe administrators and school districts
are against older teachers, you are just as bias toward
younger teachers. A lot of new teachers are just
fantastic. Experience isn't the only factor in a hiring
decision. Just because you have experience.....doesn't
mean you are good. I found that out at my last school -
luckily all the old codgers have retired.
