Your profile notes: > Owner/ Founder: Making-The-Grade Private Learning (Private Tutoring Services). Your belief that there is nothing more to teaching than a lesson plan - "you could freely pick and choose from anyone in your district" - doesn't inspire confidence in the services you offer. You also note that you're a Wordpress (sic) contractor. WordPress (note the capitalized P) is open source. Do you also believe that you could freely pick and choose from anyone (i.e. anybody without prior training or experience) to do WordPress development? |

I have been an educator for over a decade, and lesson plans are very low on the list of what makes someone a good or great teacher/educator.
Teaching successfully is a lot of things, but for me it is a presentation. Making an interesting presentation and guiding students through a course correctly is the true skill.
Lesson plans are mostly about inserting industry language and cool sounding bullet points into pdfs so that your administrator will be impressed. They are really useful to inexperienced teachers, but are largely an after thought for many great experienced teachers. When you open source them to people in your district, it would be easy for other teachers to get ideas from them and allow them to actually be useful for even the most experienced teachers.
You clearly didn't understand my comment, so please enlighten me on what your theory of teaching and education is and the role that lesson plans play in all of it.
Your question, which was probably rhetorical, about Wordpress (note the uncapitalized p) doesn't make any sense. If you want an honest debate, rephrase it.
