That new teachers are relatively unprepared for today's classroom is fairly obvious. The question is why? Is it their grasp of subject matter, ability to effectively manage a classroom, efficacy regarding the associated but non-teaching duties of the teaching position, or is it that the old system of teaching children simply is not effective in today's society? Indications point to the inability of old methods to meet the needs of today. Bibliography lists 11 sources.
