Starting in September, the Medford School District will charge a fee for student teachers — $1,200 for students attending in-state colleges and universities, $1,500 for those in out-of-state schools. It will also charge $50 for students studying in-state to have a field experience lasting one to several days in the district, $75 for students who go to school out of state.”
“Medford mentored 30 student teachers in 2010-11. An additional 25 teacher candidates had field experiences there. Had the charges been in effect, they could have added up to a starting teacher’s salary.
“That saves a teacher,” McGair insisted. “That’s important to us, and should be important to colleges and universities if they are trying to place graduating students.”

Heard of this article through word of mouth. I hope it does not become a trend.

Wait, it is the job of the student teacher to not only pay tuition, but ALSO to pay the school district for giving them a free teacher anyways?!
Dislike, dislike, dislike

About
Who I am: A third year high school history teacher at an urban(ish) high school in New Jersey.
What I blog about: Stuff related to education I like, and stuff I hope can help other teachers out. Technology, deals on supplies, helpful books. My focus lately is on educational technology & related resources. Occasionally, I also post things related to education reform. Because I post articles that I feel will be of interest to teachers with varying views, the political-related posts made here do not necessarily reflect my beliefs or opinions, nor do they reflect the beliefs of my employer.
What I like learning & reading about: Other teacher's opinions about and experiences with teaching & education. How I can enrich my classroom and reach out to my students. If you write about this stuff, let me know, because I probably want to read it.
What you should submit: Anything that could help a teacher.
