Shortage of qualified teachers for low income schools

Get more qualified teachers for low income schools so that economically disadvantaged Black, and Latino students are not instructed by poorly trained and prepared teachers.

Why is this important?

I started this petition because I'm currently in a school in East San Jose where most of the students that attend this school are Latinos. A high percentage of our teachers have very little experience. This means that they are less effective at resolving a number of problems, such as: maintaining discipline, motivating students, and adapting instructions for students with special and learning needs.
